Drop pods are troop transports deployed from various Cabal warships. Apart from making a hard landing, these pods can smash Guardians to death if they happen to be in their way. They disintegrate upon striking their target, releasing the Cabal soldiers within. It possesses magnetic shielding suitable for protecting against Arc energy.[3]
Drop pods are launched through an electrified rail system. The drop pod launcher upon Ghaul's command ship The Immortal is the only place where Amanda Holliday is able to drop The Guardian off in the Story Mission Homecoming. This is because The Immortal's shields do not protect the area of the ship where drop pods are deployed.
