How many fighters and troop transports that fit in the hangar bay depends on the size of the bay and the size of the ship or station; for example, a Covenant assault carrier's hangar bay is large enough to fit an entire [[UNSC frigate]], | How many fighters and troop transports that fit in the hangar bay depends on the size of the bay and the size of the ship or station; for example, a Covenant assault carrier's hangar bay is large enough to fit an entire [[UNSC frigate]],<ref name="ark"/> while a [[UNSC corvette]]'s hangar can only store a small ship such as a [[SKT-13 Shuttlecraft]].<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', p. 64</ref> The shuttle bays on Covenant {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}s are large, with multiple levels and enough space to park two [[Type-28 Troop Carrier]]s, two [[Type-31 Seraph|Type-31 "Seraph" fighters]], or eight [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Type-26 "Banshee" Ground Support Aircraft]]. | ||

On larger UNSC warships such as the {{Class|Valiant|super-heavy cruiser}}, the hangar bay serves as "Zero Deck", by which all other decks are measured. All decks above the hangar are named as a "level" starting at Level One and going as high as needed, while all decks below the hangar are considered "belowdecks" and labelled First Deck, Second Deck, Third Deck etc.<ref>''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', Chapter 4</ref> The {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}} can reconfigure its hangar bays to sacrifice armament-carrying capacity and instead serve as a light [[UNSC carrier|carrier]] when needed. | On larger UNSC warships such as the {{Class|Valiant|super-heavy cruiser}}, the hangar bay serves as "Zero Deck", by which all other decks are measured.

Covenant hangar bays use [[energy barrier]]s that serve the purpose of separating the pressurized interior of the ship from the vacuum of space, also doubling as [[energy shielding|energy shields]] that can prevent ships from entering. Some ships such as [[Covenant corvette]]s also possess physical hangar doors in addition to the energy field.<ref>''' | Covenant hangar bays use [[energy barrier]]s that serve the purpose of separating the pressurized interior of the ship from the vacuum of space, also doubling as [[energy shielding|energy shields]] that can prevent ships from entering.
