'''Planetary shields''' were a variant of [[Forerunner]] [[energy shielding]] technology that could be extended to cover entire [[:Category:Planets|planets]] to protect from stellar radiation. Sections of a planetary shield could be temporarily lowered to allow starships to pass through.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 254'': ''"A streak shot across our sky, and our planet's protective shields opened a glittering gate, like a ring of precious stones, through which that streak now passed, slows, turned upright..."''</ref> Normally, a planetary shield was barely visible, but caused noticeable refraction when opening or during sunset.
