Template:Ratings Energy barriers, sometimes referred to as energy fields, are a type of visible energy field that the Covenant use in airlocks and for boarding parties to board enemy ships.[1][2]
Energy barriers are useful because they allow solid matter through, but not gases, such as oxygen and neon. However, before matter passes through, the pressure on both sides must be equalized, to minimize the risk of explosive decompression.[3]
It is interesting to note that Signal Units work through energy barriers, while COM units do not.[3][4] Energy barriers are also present on Covenant Boarding Craft, on the end of the craft's penetration tip.[5] They can also be garrisoned with infantry in Halo Wars' Skirmish mode.
Energy barriers are also used as exterior doors in hangar bays on Covenant starships. These include the shuttle bay doors on CCS-class Battlecruisers,[6] as well as the hangar bays on Covenant corvettes. The barriers can also be configured to block all vehicles or personnel or allow them to pass through when required.[7]
