Squad Breaching Carapace

The is a Republic drop pod. The SBC is used to drop in a whole lance behind enemy lines, suddenly launching a surprise attack against unsuspecting defenders. 
==Description==
Much like the smaller Type-55 Individual Breaching Carapace, the Type-55 SBC is designed to safely carry warriors to the ground. The pod consists of a sealed pod, with all the necessary life support systems to sustain the passengers. The pod is protected against the dangerous of space and atmospheric entry by the sealed pod, and heavy heat shield, allowing them to war off extreme heat and enemy fire. 
Likewise, the pod features forward-thrust brakes to decelerate on landing, and then embed itself into its target. The passengers are kept secured by gravity anchors at their feet, bracing them against enemy fire and the shock of landing. Once on the ground, or in the side of a starship, the four doors unfold to allow the four occupants to leap out and straight into battle. 
The SBC is only found on larger vessels, such as cruisers and carriers. They are often used to reinforce and bolster existing orbital drops, or rapidly reinforce ground positions.
