Notes: The breaching pod is a disposable unit used by the Klingon Empire to transport marines onto a ship by latching onto its external hull, breaching it with explosive charges, and entering through the breach. Breaching pods are used specifically after the parent ship has disabled the enemy target's shields and inflicted sufficient hull damage to enable the pod's explosive charges to breach the target's hull. Its swift maneuverability makes it a very difficult target to hit during combat runs.The breaching pod is barely large enough to hold two marines. It is used in attempting to take over a ship when other means are ineffective.
