The '''Z-90 Photonic Coalescence Emitter/Aegis''',<ref name="Official Site">[http://halo.xbox.com/halo4#!halo-evolved/gameplay/31afe32b-0e07-45c0-9424-3adc6e1eadca '''Halo 4 Official Site:''' ''GAMEPLAY'']</ref> more commonly known as the '''Hardlight Shield''',<ref name="Official Site"/> is a [[Forerunner]] anti-personnel shielding system. Like other examples of [[hard light]] technology, it works by using a photon emitter to fuse light particles into a dissipative barrier.<ref name="Official Site"/> | |||
Hardlight shields are frequently employed by the ground forces of the mechanical [[Promethean]]s, with [[Promethean Watcher|Watchers]] providing different types of shield for [[Promethean Knight|Knight]] and [[Promethean Crawler|Crawlers]] in combat. This technology has been adapted for use with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]], allowing [[Spartan (branch)|Spartans]] to use the shield to protect themselves from incoming fire. While using the Hardlight Shield, a Spartan is unable to use weapons, and the MJOLNIR's energy shields are prevented from recharging until the Hardlight Shield dissipates. | |||

The designation "Aegis" is likely a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Aegis|Aegis]], a shield carried by several divine figures in Greek Mythology. | |||
