Type-53 Squad Breaching Carapace



The Type-53 Squad Breaching Carapace is a type of medium sized Covenant orbital entry vehicle. It is used by the Covenant Remnant.

Description
Created by the Lodam Armory, the T-53 SBC is larger than the Type-51 Individual Breaching Carapace but smaller than the Type-54 Mass Deployment Carapace, making it medium sized. It is used to insert a  small File of troops onto the battlefield. It is usually used to transport smaller troops such as Grunts and Jackals onto the battlefield, though it is possible that Elites may be transported if the need arises. Thrusters are used to slow the pod's descent before it impacts the ground. Once it is on the ground, the three doors of the pod open up and allow the troops inside to disembark.
