Soft-seal
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
"Soft-seal" technology, used to create a "soft-seal" entrance, is a technology employed by the UNSC to help facilitate boarding actions. It was created and perfected during the later stages of Operation: TREBUCHET, during the Insurrection. Soft-seals can be deployed from D77 Pelican dropships, connecting the Pelican's troop bay to the outer hull of a given spacecraft and turning the Pelican into an improvised boarding craft. The seal creates an airtight fixture, allowing teams of boarding troops to then cut their way into the target spacecraft and launch a boarding action without risking depressurisation.[1]
Soft-seals were used by Fire Team Lima in 2531 during their mission to enact the self-destruct of the UNSC Prophecy, a Marathon-class heavy cruiser which had been damaged during the Human-Covenant War. The team, led by Sergeant John Forge, used the soft-seal to cut their way into the Prophecy and engage the Kig-Yar who had begun to raid the ship.[1]
