A '''piston''' is a [[Forerunner]] device. They are installed within facilities like the [[Sentinel Wall]] as vertical "[[door]]s" to get from level to level within the multi-tiered construct. The pistons have sensitive control-strips that open the piston when fired upon or switched. The piston then splits in two, and allows [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s and [[Constructor]]s to move to the lower or to the higher level they desire. The openings are fairly large, however, and therefore allow larger creatures, such as [[Sangheili]], to move through. However, the shafts pistons guard are almost always vertical, so moving up through them is impossible without a thruster of some kind. Some pistons do not split in two, but the ones that reveal the winding tunnels just lift upwards, downwards and away.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Sacred Icon (level)|Sacred Icon]]''</ref> | A '''piston''' is a [[Forerunner]] device.
