The bubble shield has a storied developmental history among the Covenant and the UNSC. The original designs for the bubble shield are based on Forerunner technology, used by the [[Warrior-Servant]]s and some forms of [[Aggressor Sentinel|Aggressor]] and [[Protector Sentinel (Shield World 0459)|Protector Sentinel]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} These devices were crudely reverse-engineered by the Covenant, with examples themselves captured by the UNSC and used as the basis for the development of a bubble shield of [[human]] make during the later years of the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG|EVG|Page=47}} During the [[Fall of Reach]], many of the ONI prototypes for the deployable bubble shield were captured by Covenant forces and were crudely copied for use by loyalist [[Jiralhanae]] forces in the war's final months - particularly the [[Battle for Earth]] and [[Battle of Installation 00]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

ONI research into bubble shield technology also resulted in the development of a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]]-compatible [[Armor abilities|reusable armour ability]] known as the [[drop shield]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11DropShield|Enc11|Page=355}} Manufacture of ONI-approved bubble shield devices continued until [[2555]], at which point they were discontinued and development efforts were refocused toward MJOLNIR-compatible emitters.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
