Developed by [[Lodam Armory]], the T-54 MDC is significantly larger than most Covenant drop pods, including the contemporary [[Type-51 Individual Breaching Carapace]]. The pod is typically affixed into large [[capital ship]]s, from which it is launched toward a planetary target or an enemy vessel. Unlike most drop pods, the T-54 MDC is reusable, being capable of deploying numerous troops from low altitude before flying back into the host vessel to receive more passengers. This feature was originally implemented to avoid the costs incurred by single-use drop pods, but has since proven to be a highly practical means of transit.<ref name="H4EVG"/> | ||
