Alternatively, commuters or goods may be shipped to orbital platforms connected to [[space elevator]]s which serve as a method of transportation between outer space and a planet surface, a method cheaper than the use of rocket fuel to escape a planet's atmosphere. A [[shuttle port]] is a type of spaceport presumably used primarily by shuttlecraft.<ref>''[[Axon]]'', [[Media:old_mombasa.ogg|old_mombasa]]</ref> Spaceports were common targets for [[terrorism|terrorists]] and [[Insurrectionist]]s. During [[Operation: TREBUCHET]], [[Tribute]]'s numerous spaceports were under constant supervision by [[ARGUS drone]]s to prevent bombings.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 12''</ref> | Alternatively, commuters or goods may be shipped to orbital platforms connected to [[space elevator]]s which serve as a method of transportation between outer space and a planet surface, a method cheaper than the use of rocket fuel to escape a planet's atmosphere.

Spaceports were also found on the [[Sangheili]] worlds, such as the mining colony of [[Creck]]. Sangheili could land and temporarily store their personal starships in a spaceport while they visited a world. The spaceports were guarded by armed Sangheili and travellers were required to go through processing stations. To enter or leave a spaceport with a starship, Sangheili were required to gain proper clearance from a spaceport administrator.<ref>'''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]''', ''Chapter 1''</ref> | |||
