'''Extra-vehicular Activity''', often abbreviated simply to '''EVA''', is the term applied to external operations by specialist personnel in a vacuum environment outside of a spaceship.

[[Eridanus Rebels|Civilian]] welders and technicians perform EVA's in order to repair ships, such as that performed upon the [[UNSC Gettysburg]] at the Eridanus System.

Combat EVA's pose a significantly greater risk to those performing it, due to the chance of suit decompression in the vacuum. The [[John-117|Master Chief]] has performed four known combat EVA's: At Chi Cheti, in [[2525]], he inserted into a Covenant warship with Kelly and Sam, planted a missile warhead and extracted him and Kelly; At [[Reach]], in [[2552]], he performed another EVA in order to neutralize an orbiting station in accordance with the [[Cole Protocol]]. He performed another aboard the [[Ascendant Justice]] while in an anomalous slipspace dimension, the first known [[slipspace]] EVA and another at Earth, clearing hostiles off the outside of the [[Cairo]] [[Orbital Defense Platform]].

The [[Covenant]] also perform EVA's. [[Ranger]] [[Elites]] use specialized vacuum-sealed armor to protect themselves from the effects of a vacuum environment, in order to plant [[Covenant Bomb|antimatter bombs]] and support boarding parties.
