Invasion Pods are carried into planetary atmospheres by mark IV glider Belantus dropships. The Dropships themselves dont always carry pods full of troops. They have been known to carry tanks, other planetary transports and even small command bases. The Belantus is fitted with two sub-light engines at its rear, these engines gives it the power it needs to land on a planet surface, deploy its drop pod and return to space again. These pods are for primarily capturing surface based structures, they have however been known to capture smaller vessels under certain situations in the past.
