Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle
[Source: Halo 5]

The Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle (SOEIV), informally known as the drop pod or egg, is a class of Human Entry Vehicle used by the United Nations Space Command to deploy an individual from high orbit to the surface. Manufactured by Ushuaia Armory, SOEIVs are deployed from orbiting naval vessels and are launched at a particular target, often behind enemy lines. Upon entering a world's atmosphere, a SOEIV employs brakes to slow itself down just short of impact. SOEIVs are often operated by the UNSC Marine Corps' Orbital Drop Shock Troopers.
