The '''Thruster Pack''' (Model: 050978<ref name="GoO2"/>), also known as the '''T-PACK''' for short, is a [[UNSC]]-issue form of propulsion for use by individuals on deep-space missions.


T-PACKs are fairly fragile and may fail if struck by weapons or bursts of radiation. One (Unit Serial: <code>#82.10923.192</code>) was worn by [[Kurt-051]] in [[2531]] on a mission in the [[Groombridge 34 system]]. It failed when it came into contact with radiation from a [[Slipspace drive|Shaw-Fujikawa drive]], causing him to spin out of control.{{Ref/Reuse|GoO2}}
==Background==
==Known models==
Designed for long-range deep-space operations, M-050978 thruster packs are still some of the riskiest equipment available. They feature triple redundancy NAV systems and stabilizers. T-PACKs contain two tanks of compressed [[Triamino Hydrazine]], which, if ruptured, would cause rapid loss of control, for which there is little a person can do. They can also be linked up to weapons such as [[MA5B Assault Rifle]]s. Should the wearer fire the weapon, the pack will provide enough counter thrust to keep the wearer from spinning out of control.<ref name="GoO">'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', pages 50-51</ref> T-PACKS also contain emergency rescue lines of orange and white rope meant to rescue other people who are stranded in deep space.<ref name="GoO2">'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', pages 55-57</ref> They are essentially a less advanced and effective version of the Covenant [[Antigravity Pack]]s. Chief Mendez trained the Spartan-IIs with this type of equipment but warned them if one thing goes wrong the chance of rescue is non-existant.

==Trivia==
*''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'' {{1st}}
*T-PACKS also appear to be adversely affected by radiation; if they come into proximity with unshielded radiation, they will fail. They will also fail and cause similar results if struck by weaponry.
*They have also caused the disappearance of two [[SPARTAN-II]] supersoldiers. One (Unit Serial: <code>#82.10923.192</code>) was worn by [[Kurt-051]] in [[2531]] on a mission in the [[Groombridge 34 System]]. It failed when it came into contact with radiation, causing him to spin out of control<ref name="GoO2"/> Another, worn by [[James (SPARTAN-II)|James]] during the [[Battle of Reach]], exploded when hit with projectiles from a [[Needler]], causing him to spin out of control and subsequently lost contact.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]:''', page ??</ref>
*The [[Mark IV MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant]] Armor supports the use of T-PACKS.
