Description: The Type 337 Emergency Escape Vehicle (EEV) is a model of escape pod manufactured by Bodenwerke Gemeinschift. It is the standard escape vehicle fitted to United States Colonial Marine Corps vessels, including the Valley Forge-class, Conestoga-class and Bougainville-class starships. With a carrying capacity of five, the Type 337 is capable of supporting automated cryo tube ejections, whereby personnel are evacuated from the parent vessel within their hypersleep chambers at the command of the ship's on-board computer, without being woken. This process takes as little as 45 seconds. It is also possible for conscious personnel to board themselves and launch the pod manually.
The EEV is 13.2 meters long with an 'L'-shaped configuration. It can withstand atmospheric re-entries and has landing capabilities to ensure a safe touchdown on a planetary body, although it is not unknown for these systems to fail, an often fatal occurrence.
