Drop Capsule

A small capsule, often illegal, that is used by travelers to illegally traverse from space stations to the planets they orbit using the assistance of gravity. Drop capsules are often used for their advantages of speed, stealthiness, and simplicity, and thus, are discouraged by most major governments due to their difficulty to track.

Schematic

Due to the first drop capsule being patented by the Pergoniax government (how ironic), the schematic is freely and legally available:

Manufacturing process

The 6 large sheets are welded into a cuboid shape, then are attached to the heat shield to prevent burning in the atmosphere. A door is cut out of one sheet, and then the interior is filled with insulation to keep the user at a reasonable temperature.
