"Descent Pod"
"A
drop in the bucket" - Whereas the Dog Carrier is
optimized for the ATM-09 Scopedog, the Descent Pod is
designed for general use. Nicknamed "buckets,"
they are used if an atmosphere is too thin for parachutes,
in airdrop operations requiring extra mobility, or when
transport aircraft cannot be used. It consists of a
platform, engines, fuel tanks, and landing skids. Its simple
design uses the shifting of an AT's body-weight for balance
and control, allowing it to take considerable punishment.
With a long crushing range in low gravity and a low per-unit
cost, they are both efficient and expendable. However, the
fact that its slow and maneuvers poorly limits its combat
utility. Any AT can use a Descent Pod.
