The [[drop shield]] is an advanced iteration of the bubble shield that was developed by the [[Materials Group]] for ONI's [[Beta-5 Division|Beta-5 strike teams]]. Drop shields saw usage during the [[Fall of Reach]].<ref name="HR">'''[[Halo: Reach]]'''</ref> After Reach was defeated, [[Covenant]] forces recovered and copied ONI's shield prototypes, later employing their own cruder versions of bubble shields during the [[Battle for Earth]] and [[Battle of Installation 00]].<ref name="H3">'''[[Halo 3]]'''</ref> These bubble shields projected a translucent, slightly white/gold tinted protective sphere around the user. The shield itself was similar to a [[Wikipedia:Geodesic dome|geodesic dome]], made of tessellating hexagons. The shield protected against bullets, explosions, lasers, [[plasma]], flames, [[grenade]]s, and other projectiles. Vehicles and personnel, however, were still able to pass through it. After approximately 20 seconds had passed, the shield would collapse and the generator would self-destruct. After the conclusion of the war, the Office of Naval Intelligence continued to manufacture a small number of similar devices, until 2555, when it refocused its shield research efforts towards Mjolnir-compatible emitters.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | The [[drop shield]] is an advanced iteration of the bubble shield that was developed by the [[Materials Group]] for ONI's [[Beta-5 Division|Beta-5 strike teams]].
