* The most common type of mass-deployment pod in use during the [[Fall of Reach]] is shaped like a smoothly rounded tetrahedron, with a large hatch on each of the three sides. The pod is equipped with three engines in the corners of the bottom of the pod, which slow down its descent until it reaches the ground. There are several glowing emitters on the floor of the pod; it is possible that these produce a [[stasis field]] to protect its occupants. | * The most common type of mass-deployment pod in use during the [[Fall of Reach]] is shaped like a smoothly rounded tetrahedron, with a large hatch on each of the three sides.

* The '''{{Pattern|Gloto|Breaching Carapace}}''': developed by [[Lodam Armory]], the T-51 IBC is the modern Covenant's most prominent model of drop pod. It can carry up to five occupants and is similar in size to the variant used by the original Covenant but sleeker and more elongated in design.{{Ref/Book|Id= | * The '''{{Pattern|Gloto|Breaching Carapace}}''': developed by [[Lodam Armory]], the T-51 IBC is the modern Covenant's most prominent model of drop pod.

* The '''{{Pattern|Gloto'kas|Assault Carapace}} (MDC)''': developed by Lodam Armory, the T-54 MDC is a much larger, reusable variant which drops numerous troops from low altitude before flying back to the host vessel. The pod is equipped with capital ship-grade armor and uses a low-range gravity dampening pulse to allow the infantry within to safely drop to the ground. | * The '''{{Pattern|Gloto'kas|Assault Carapace}} (MDC)''': developed by Lodam Armory, the T-54 MDC is a much larger, reusable variant which drops numerous troops from low altitude before flying back to the host vessel.

* The '''{{Pattern|Kalu'teh|Breaching Carapace}} (IBC)''': developed by Lodam Armory, the T-55 IBC is emblematic of the classic Sangheili design. Aerodynamically streamlined for speed and maneuverability, this variant has seen frequent use in the [[Blooding Years|protracted feud]] between Sangheili [[clan]]s, primarily due to the conflict's wildly territorial nature.<ref name="hwp drop pods">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/tech/covenant-drop-pods '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Covenant Drop Pods'']</ref> | * The '''{{Pattern|Kalu'teh|Breaching Carapace}} (IBC)''': developed by Lodam Armory, the T-55 IBC is emblematic of the classic Sangheili design.

* The '''{{Pattern|Kalu'qeh|Breaching Carapace}} (SBC)''': The T-55 SBC has four bays and is capable of deploying up to the same number of Covenant personnel. The SBC deploys personnel standing upright, locking them into place with gravity-based floor anchors. Upon impact, the carapace's doors slide open and the anchors are released, immediately deploying the troops.{{Ref/Reuse|hwp drop pods}} | * The '''{{Pattern|Kalu'qeh|Breaching Carapace}} (SBC)''': The T-55 SBC has four bays and is capable of deploying up to the same number of Covenant personnel.
