Malon escape pod

The Malon escape pod was a type of small escape pod used on some types of Malon export vessels.

Roughly conical in shape, they held one or two individuals per pod. Each individual pod had a large impulse engine on its aft section.

In 2375, when one such vessel's core started to breach, the crew abandoned ship in thirty-seven escape pods. The pods then sent an automated distress call, picked up by the USS Voyager. When they arrived, the pods were heavily contaminated with theta radiation and only two Malon survived. (VOY: "Juggernaut")
