Type-55 Individual Breaching Carapaces are deployed via firing from a [[capital ship]] or localized deployment, typically from an orbital or suborbital position. The drop pods are launched toward the surface of a world as a means to circumvent enemy movement or sever supply lines, and breach the atmosphere—if necessary—and close in on the target area before forward thrusters are activated, braking the craft just before impact. The effect is often disorienting for hostiles, allowing drop pods to violently strike the target [[landing zone]], immediately ejecting troops before the opposition can recover from the event.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | Type-55 Individual Breaching Carapaces are deployed via firing from a [[capital ship]] or localized deployment, typically from an orbital or suborbital position.
