'''Energy shielding''' is an advanced defensive technology making use of a field of energized particles that wraps around a surface, which deflects objects that attempt to impact the surface. Most energy shields are able to deflect various forms of damage, from material projectiles to [[directed-energy weapon|directed energy streams]]. Several [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]], [[Covenant]] and [[Forerunner]] [[:Category:Vehicles|vehicles]], [[:Category:Equipment|devices]], and [[armor]] systems make use of energy shielding to protect users from harm.
