A hangar bay is a large room built to store fighters, troop transports, and other equipment that are on board a ship or space station. Almost every Covenant or UNSC ship has a hangar bay. Ships that have the largest hangar bays are usually identified as carriers; such as the Covenant assault carrier, Shadow of Intent. Usually, the hangar bay of a ship is located in the middle or the back of a ship.[1][2][3]
Background
How many fighters and troop transports that fit in the hangar bay depends on the size of the bay and the size of the ship or station; for example, a Covenant assault carrier's hangar bay is large enough to fit the entire UNSC frigate,[2] while a UNSC corvette's hangar can only store a small ship such as a SKT-13 Shuttlecraft.[4] Hangars on some UNSC warships double as cargo bays, being able to lower vehicles or cargo directly to the ground through elevators in the hangar floor.[2]
Some Covenant hangar bays are generally referred to a shuttle bays.[5] Covenant hangar bays use energy barriers that serve the purpose of separating the pressurized interior of the ship from the vacuum of space, also doubling as energy shields that can prevent ships from entering. Some ships such as Covenant corvettes also possess physical hangar doors in addition to the energy field.[6] By 2552, some UNSC ships and stations also use vacuum-sealing energy fields in their hangar bays.[7]
Trivia
- On Sandtrap if you manage to get out of the map in Theater and go into UNSC Aegis Fate you can go in the hangar bay and the inside is detailed.
