| | A '''thruster pack''', also known as the '''T-PACK''' for short,{{Ref/Reuse|GoO2}} is a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]-issue form of propulsion for use by individuals on deep-space missions. [[Chief Mendez]] trained the [[SPARTAN-II]]s with this type of equipment but warned them if one thing goes wrong the chance of rescue is non-existent.<ref name="GoO2"/> |
| 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. The [[Mark IV MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant]] supports the use of T-PACKS. They are essentially a less advanced and effective version of the Covenant [[antigravity pack]]s.

| ==Design==

| 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, stabilizers, redundant shutoff valves and emergency [[sealant foam]].<ref name="goo">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 55''</ref> 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 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> 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-existent. | | 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}} |
| | | ==Known models== |
| T-PACKS 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>
