The '''Type-51 Individual Breaching Carapace''' is a type of multi-occupant [[Covenant drop pod|orbital entry vehicle]] used by the [[Covenant remnants]], namely [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Jul 'Mdama's faction]]. Developed by [[Lodam Armory]], the T-51 IBC is the most prominent model of drop pod in the post-[[Human-Covenant War|Covenant War]] era. It is used for rapid insertions to planetary targets or even enemy vessels. Mostly supplanting the single-occupant pods favored in the past, it can carry up to five occupants; for larger-scale deployment, the Covenant employs the larger [[Type-54 Mass Deployment Carapace]]. The T-51 IBC is similar in size to the multiple-troop variant used by the original [[Covenant]], but sleeker and more elongated in design. It is equipped with forward-braking thrusters for deceleration and a set of terrain-locking prongs on its underside to anchor the pod to the ground.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
