Stasis cannon
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Stasis Cannon is a Covenant stasis weapon found on the Bkowe'nei-pattern Vampire's frontal section. When fired, it disables the targeted enemy aircraft, rendering it unable to move or fire. Once the Vampire is upgraded with Stasis Drain, the weapon not only stops its target, but also drains its energy regenerating the Vampire itself and making the hostile crash onto the ground. Its second upgrade, Stasis Bomb, causes drained aircraft to explode, inflicting Area Of Effect damage.[1]
Banished dreadnaughts also possessed this technology. In May 2560, the Ghost of Gbraakon used its stasis cannon to capture Pelican Echo 216, draining the main batteries. Although John-117 reached the ship's bridge, the stasis cannon was locked down and required a hack to be disabled. Lacking the necessary skills or an AI companion to perform the hack, the Master Chief instead scuttled the ship. The overload disabled the stasis beam and released the Pelican the batteries of which then recharged.[2]
