An activated energy shackle.

An energy shackle is a piece of Covenant technology used to physically restrain an individual.^[1] The Banished later used this technology to restrain prisoners, as well.^[2]

Overview

When activated, the energy shackle emits a blue ring of energy around one of the limbs of an individual, and levitates in a fixed position, making it extremely difficult to move. The shackle also has the ability to electrocute the restrained individual.^[1] Energy shackles used by the Banished emitted orange-red rings of energy, but otherwise served the exact same function.^[2]

Usage history

In October 2552, a pair of energy shackles were used to restrain Thel 'Vadamee while he was branded with the Mark of Shame.^[1] Sali 'Nyon was bound by a set of energy shackles when he was captured by Jul 'Mdama's forces in July 2558.^[3] During the Battle for Zeta Halo, Spartan Hudson Griffin and Fernando Esparza were restrained inside Banished torture machines by energy shackles.^[2]
