The Type-55 Squad Breaching Carapace (T-55 SBC) is a Covenant drop pod manufactured by Lodam Armory. First observed in 2554, the Type-55 SBC was not formally documented by the United Nations Space Command until 2555.[1]
Specifications
Type-55 Squad 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.[1]
