A '''Drop Canister''' is a device that can hold a single [[Heavy Weapons Squad|heavy weapon]], along with bipod or tripod and ammunition, or a comparable amount of equipment, delivered via [[grav-chute]] to a squad in the field. The canister is heavily reinforced, and together with the decreased velocity accorded by the grav-chute array, drop canisters can be relied on to deliver equipment even in the harsh conditions of battle. A drop canister can be used to deliver arms and equipment to a unit already in position, or alongside troops deploying by grav chute. A notable user of drop canisters is the The [[Elysian Drop Troopers]] who make use of drop canisters; they refer to the canisters as '''Coffins''', as their size and shape allow them to be used as improvised funerary caskets.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} ==See also==*[[Drop Pod]]
