Hard Light, also spelled hard-light, is the Covenant name for Forerunner technology that allows light to be transformed into a solid state to bear weight and do various other tasks. The technology is used in energy bridges as well as to lock Forerunner doors.[1]
It is also used in the construction and composition of Forerunner structures, and as a cutting weapon, such as on the arms of a War Sphinx.[2]
Many Forerunner ships use hard light technology to form its internal divisions and compartments. This allows a Forerunner ship to easily reconfigure its layout, furnishings or decoration at will.
Most Forerunner sturctures project a hard light decorative shell over the structural support elements of the building.
