The Single Occupant Exoatmosphere Insertion Vehicle (SOEIV), also known as the Human Entry Vehicle, is a uniquely designed combat insertion pod created to allow for the deployment of soldiers into contested fields of battle from low space orbit. After the pod clears orbit and reaches the atmosphere, the upper exterior panels separate from the pod to create a drag-type parachute to aid in slowing the Pod on entry. The included ODST Sniper is a crack-shot trained to eliminate enemy combatants from distance without the danger of direct combat. Head into battle feet first, arm your trooper with his sniper rifle and send some Covenant forces on their own personal Great Journey!
