* A pod has no crew, but it automatically successfully uses the Change Speed one category (until it has accelerated to Ramming) and Decrease Range (target is the nearest planet or moon) maneuvers every round.
These are used by special missions forces (such as Imperial Army Special Missions platoons, Imperial Navy SpecNav teams, or Storm Commandos) to drop two squads in a single pod. They are often dropped in large numbers, with a mix of troop pods, supply pods, and decoys.
