Pods

TKG 4/12

Original thought for development, aboard Polarus during orientation/updating round. 3 person vessels, able to launch off ships, go straight up so don’t need landing strip. 3 people plus equipment.

Mach 4. Insides stabilized at 1.25 gs. Quiet, undetectable, stupid-

TKG 5/16

Gravity based engine, triangle shaped. Looked like mini helicopters.

TKG 6/7

Marcus consults TOM. Anti-gravity device, can go 256 c.s top speed (264 X speed of light). If landed @ 264 c., would destroy everything in ¼ mile of pod. Gravity shield to protect passengers.

TKG 6/15

First version, IZTA001. No glass, two-person vehicle. TOM pilots engines for guidance .Energy from special material explosive.

Later version = windows, better seating,

TKG 9/6

After Moon Launch, major powers increased surveillance.

Radar could detect atmospheric disturbances from pods, so Fore- and aft- whirls created to hide air current. Screen on landing fields allowed pods to slow down in time for humans to be more comfortable

TKG 14/15

Executive Pods – seat ten, VERY comfortable!

TSDA 01/15; TSDA 03/04

Form of small vehicle transport on Earth during Second dark ages. Result of using Nazi technology left after Bethany Anne took all of TQB away. Anti-grav engines, extremely inefficient, noisy.

Pods are also discussed in the Technology section. Please be sure to read that, as well.
