- "Welcome to Plazir. Please proceed to your hyperloop pod."

The hyperloop pod was a form of transport pod moving through a tube at very high speeds. It was used for public ground transportation on the planet Plazir-15.[1]
Behind the scenes
The hyperloop pod works similarly to the real-world hyperloop, a proposed high-speed ground transportation pod. The hyperloop pods proposed by entrepreneur Elon Musk would travel in a solar-powered tube elevated above ground, and when traveling long distances, would mostly traverse along an existing highway.[2]
