The [[Covenant]] has been known to use items such as [[Energy shackle|shackles]] and contained beams of energy to hold prisoners. When [[Thel 'Vadam]] was tortured as punishment for letting [[Installation 04]] come to destruction, he was kept restrained in a pair of hovering shackles. A stasis beam device in the [[Sanctum of the Hierarchs]] was used to contain [[343 Guilty Spark]], which floated motionlessly inside the field. | The [[Covenant]] has been known to use items such as [[Energy shackle|shackles]] and contained beams of energy to hold prisoners.

==Banished restraints== | |||
Like the Covenant before it, the Banished use energy shackles to restraint [[Prisoner of war|prisoners of war]], sometimes in tandem with [[Banished torture machine|torture machine]]s, which utilizes micro [[Gravity well (physics)|gravity well]]s to inflict excruciating pain on the victim.{{Ref/Quest|Id=House of Reckoning|HI|Reckoning (Halo Infinite)|House of Reckoning}} To restrain groups of prisoners, the Banished utilize [[plasma gyve]]s, devices which generate searing hot tendrils of energy that both restrain and force captives into submission.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p441|Enc22|Page=441}} Both the torture machines and plasma gyves have been used extensively by the Banished during their [[Battle for Zeta Halo|occupation]] of [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Reuse|House of Reckoning}}{{Ref/Quest|Id=Tower|HI|Connections|The Tower}}{{Ref/Quest|Id=Redoubt|HI|Banished Outpost|Redoubt of Sundering}} | |||

The [[Forerunner]]s had a variety of ways of restraining individuals. These included [[confinement field]]s, which could incapacitate individuals but also block the movement of entire starships.<ref>'''[[Halo: Cryptum]]''', ''page 193''</ref> [[Constraint field]]s were a type of less restrictive energy field, which held the captive immobilized in a small bubble.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 303-305''</ref> A Forerunner [[Stasis field|stationary field projector]] was used by the Covenant to hold Professor [[Ellen Anders]] prisoner at the [[Apex Site]]. While limiting overall movement, the device allowed Anders some ability to wiggle within the confines of the field.<ref>'''Halo Wars'''</ref> Meanwhile, Forerunner weapons-grade stasis bubbles could maintain an individual in a completely unconscious and immobile state for years.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 73''</ref> [[AI suppressor]]s were Forerunner software used to deactivate [[ancilla]]s. They could effectively be used to restrain Forerunners who wore [[Forerunner personal armor|personal armor]], as the suppressor could lock the armor down and thus completely immobilize the wearer.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 194''</ref> | [[File:Gravity trap.png|thumb|Ellen Anders held in a containment field device.]] | ||
