The '''M9407 Single Occupant Independent Entry Vehicle''' is a [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war]] design of [[drop pod]] in the service of the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=152}}{{Ref/Reuse|WF}}{{Ref|[[User talk:ScaleMaster117#Warfleet SOIEV designation|Steven Loftus clarifying the M9407 on his talk page]]}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
In the years following the human-Covenant war, the UNSC partnered with experienced military contractors to make a number of improvements to the drop pod platform.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} As such, the M9407 SOIEV is a modern drop pod design that incorporates a number of improvements over its [[M8823 drop pod|M8823]] and [[M8900 drop pod|M8900]] forebears. These include more reliable in-flight communications, limited inertial compensation, compatability with [[gravitic]]-assist launch tubes and significantly improved structural integrity. The M9407 also features a more configurable internal harness, with hookups and system interlinks compatible with the latest [[ODST armor]] and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] variants.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

The M9047 also features more powerful manoeuvre thrusters, a new air brake design, significantly improved structural integrity with the incorporation of new metal matrix composites, and thermal superconducting elements incorporated into the composite heatshield.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

===Usage===
329 such drop pods are carried by the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, and are deployed from [[R1295 Launching System]]s.{{Ref/Game|Id=IFB|Halo 4|EditionLink=Halo 4 Limited Edition|EditionText=Limited Edition|''[[Infinity Briefing Packet]]''}}{{Ref/Game|Id="WF"|Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo|UNSC Infinity, p.42}}

==Gameplay==
The M9407 appears in the [[Warzone]] gamemode in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', used to deploy players onto the battlefield in the opening cutscene of a match. In-game, they act as static props though some house [[Requisition system|REQ terminals]] for players to call in weapons. The drop pods can also be spawned in [[Forge/Halo 5: Guardians|Forge]], alongside their associated airbrakes, as static props.
