The '''Gydrozka Workshop Breaching Pod''' is a [[drop pod]] utilized by the [[Banished]] to deploy an individual from [[warship]]s at high altitudes to the surface of a [[planet]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
Drop pods used by the Banished are manufactured by the [[Kordulaan War-Forge]] and developed by the Gydrozka workshop. The drop pod features four stabilizing thrusters at its fore and a [[Anti-gravity technology|gravitic]] braking chute at its rear to decelerate. The pod's frame is heavily armored and dense in the hopes of damaging potential opposition. After landing, the pod releases its hatch with an explosive blast, intended to inflict damage on nearby enemies.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==Operational history==
During the [[Battle of Netherop (2559)]], the Banished used several hundred drop pods towards the end of the conflict to deploy a small army of warriors onto the plains of [[Netherop]]. Due to the ongoing engagement in space, [[Atriox]] sacrificed his [[drekar]] ''[[Hammer of Fate]]'' to provide cover for the drop pod insertion. The pods were deployed from a small fleet of [[karve]]s operating in [[Ephyra system|the system]], and deployed with the troops on the ground initially believing them to simply be a debris shower from the destruction in orbit. Once the drop pods landed on the ground, the massive numbers of troops were used by Atriox to pressure [[Thel 'Vadam]] and [[Olympia Vale]] into handing him control of the [[Precursor]] superweapon the [[Divine Hand]]. Once the weapon was handed over, Atriox and his forces left - leaving the drop pods abandoned on the ground and requiring ten [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Lich|Liches]] to embark all of the soldiers.{{Ref/Novel|HOut|Chapter=24}}

Gydrozka Workshop Breaching Pods saw heavy use during the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]].{{Ref/Game|Id=HI|HI|Drop Pod in-game unit}} These were typically dropped in large clusters to ensure infiltration of target.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==In-game information==
===''Halo Infinite''===
Drop pods are featured in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' as a vehicle used by the [[Banished]]. In-game, they are used to deploy enemy troops onto the battlefield in an explosive fashion - wbfore the drop pods land, they shine a red light on the ground. Soon after the occupant leaves the drop pod, it overloads like a heavily damaged [[vehicle]], and then explodes harmlessly. Drop pods can transport [[Jiralhanae/Gameplay|Brutes]], [[Sangheili/Gameplay|Elites]], [[Mgalekgolo/Gameplay|Hunters]], [[Kig-Yar/Gameplay|Jackals]] or [[Unggoy/Gameplay|Grunts]] of any rank.{{Ref/Reuse|HI}}

While the drop pod explodes when used to deploy enemies, intact pods can be found across the surface of the [[Installation 07|ring]] as non-destructible scenery.{{Ref/Reuse|HI}}
