Boson beads are known to be created through the [[plasma]] [[glassing|bombardment]] of [[hardlight|boson-photon field]]s, also known as hard-light. Boson beads appear as shimmering spheres that can range in size from that of a pea to a little larger than a human thumb-tip. They can at times appear more liquid than solid, but in the proper light are shown to be solid balls that give off a deep and bright iridescent glow. They are considered extremely valuable.

The site struck was home to active [[Forerunner]] hard-light structures. When the [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]] deployed a company to Shaps III a short time later to survey the [[Line Installation 444-447]], it discovered valuable boson beads created by the glassing. On [[2553#April|December 12]] of that year [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] operative [[Veta Lopis]] made use of these beads to attempt to bribe [[Ross Nyeto]] and [[Georgi Baklanov]] in turn as part of an [[Operation: RETRIBUTION|undercover operation]] on [[Venezia]] to make members of the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] seek them out.<ref name="R1"/> | ||
