OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The Shell Pod MK-1 is designed to protect the pilot of the vehicle they are operating from most day-to-day danger, as well as many of the dangers of combat. Because ShardWorks largely creates droid-operated vehicles meant for Shards to occupy and use, Raijin decided that different safety measures were required for the fellow members of his species than organics. This heavily armored pod can comfortably fit one Shard, along with its onboard comm unit and built-in padding. A Shell Pod can easily survive the dangers of being ejected both in an atmosphere and in vacuum. Once ejected from the vehicle, the pod's occupant has the option of using the comms to call for help, or deploy the parachutes if needed. However, despite all these safety features, the pod's armor does not do well against attacks from a lightsaber and does not protect the comm unit from EMPs. It also does not include a propulsion system, for fear that the engine would get damaged and place the occupant in danger.
