==Background== | |||
Unlike HEVs, which must be launched from a vessel in orbit of the target, Long Range Stealth Orbital Insertion Pods can be launched while a ship is actually in [[Slipspace]]. To date, they are the smallest manned UNSC ships that are capable of transitioning into normal space safely. However, it also seems that only Spartans can man it. Still, they are, according to occupants, a "bumpy ride."<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] page 16</ref> | |||
Their construction consists of simple [[Titanium-A]] shell covered with [[Lead Foil]] and a [[Stealth Ablative Coating]] to make the ships radar invisible.<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] page 13</ref> | |||
== | ==Operational Use== | ||
They were used to land 300 [[Spartan III]]'s on the surface of [[Pegasi Delta]] during [[Operation TORPEDO]] in [[2545]]. | |||
