Drop pod

The drop pod is an atmospheric insertion craft. Capable of transporting troops from space to the ground rapidly, drop pods are used to insert troops directly on the front lines or behind enemy lines. Drop pods are most famously used by the Orbital Diver Corps, as well as the SNLF Raiding Group. Numerous special forces like the Imperial Army TokuSa and Dogsuli also use drop pods.

The components of the Yamashita-type Battlefield Fortification can be deployed via drop pod.

Nichiren-type
The Nichiren-type drop pod is designed to deploy single fireteams onto the battlefield. These pods can hold four fully-equipped occupants in standing harnesses. A computer display built into the ceiling shows the view from the pod's underside cameras. Upon nearing the ground, the pod's retro rockets fire, slowing the pod to safely and quickly deploy its embarked soldiers.
