Shuttle bay



The shuttle bay is a term used of the hangar bays on Covenant CCS-class battlecruisers. Shuttle bays are used to store and launch smaller craft such as fighters or dropships. There are at least four shuttle bays on a CCS-class battlecruiser.

Background
The shuttle bays of most ships are large, with multiple levels and enough space to park two Type-28 Troop Carriers, two Type-31 "Seraph" fighters, or eight Type-26 "Banshee" Ground Support Aircraft.

The shuttle bay also is also equipped with doors, energy barriers that allow or disallow aircraft to enter, also serving as pressure shields.
