The carapace is a highly resistant unit which allows a [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTAN]] to enter the atmosphere of a planet from high orbit. It includes hard points for weapons, to prevent them being lost in the deceleration upon entry to the atmosphere. Because only specialized gear (such as the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]]) can survive the extreme heat during atmospheric re-entry, the carapace cannot be used by regular military personnel. Once terminal velocity has been reached, and a suitable altitude above the planet surface has been attained, the parafoil may be deployed for a safe landing. | The carapace is a highly resistant unit which allows a [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTAN]] to enter the atmosphere of a planet from high orbit.
