| rdfs:label | - Imperial Drill Pod Boarding Craft
|
| rdfs:comment | - Imperial Drill Pod Boarding Crafts were boarding pods used by the Galactic Empire for boarding enemy starships. Several were used to board the 'Salvation' during the Battle of Kamino. The pod was unarmed, making it very vulnerable while flying. They were usually launched from the fearsome Imperial Star Destroyers.
- The Drill Pod was very similar in design and use to the older Separatist Droch-class boarding ship. It could carry up to 10 armed soldiers as well as wardroids such as the Carbonite war droid and the Incinerator war droid. It was equipped with a drill that was made up of four sharpened plates of Durasteel that were connected and working in unison. This drill would be located at the front of the vessel. The purpose of the drill was to penetrate the hull of the enemy starship. The pod would be launched from a Star Destroyer or other capital ship and would spin its outer hull and drill until it impacted the enemy hull.

The purpose of the drill was to penetrate the hull of the enemy starship. The pod would be launched from a Star Destroyer or other capital ship and would spin its outer hull and drill until it impacted the enemy hull. Once the enemy ship's hull was penetrated, the drill's four durasteel plates would separate, and a ramp would be lowered. This would provide an opening for the boarding party to disembark from. The pod was unarmed and was vulnerable while flying towards the enemy vessel. Since this ship was primarily used for deploying infantry, heavier units such as the AT-ST and AT-MP would be deployed by the far larger Imperial Boarding Pods.
