| Forerunner technology that allows light to be transformed into a solid state, capable of bearing weight and performing a variety of tasks. This involves an as-yet unexplained interplay between coherent, high-energy light and gas particles, such as air. The Forerunners used hard light technology to create anti-personal weapons and protective personal shields, such as the [[Z-250 Lightrifle]] and the [[Z-90 Photonic Coalescence Emitter/Aegis]], which could be deployed in the battlefield by fighting units like [[Promethean Knight]]s.
