An '''escape pod''', '''escape capsule''', '''life capsule''', or '''lifepod''' is a capsule or craft, usually only big enough for one person, used to escape from a vessel in an emergency. An '''escape ship''' is a larger, more complete craft also used for the same purpose. Escape pods are ubiquitous in [[science fiction]] but are only used in a few real vehicles.
