| The [[Forerunner]]s constructed energy field-projecting devices with the purpose of [[physical restraints|physically restraining]] a person or object. Typically, such devices are comprised of two rings which emit an energy field which encircles and restrains a prisoner or any held object. Similar technology was later used by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]].

| == Apex Site ==
| |
| The [[Apex Site]] located on [[Shield 0459]] possessed a containment field device, which also functioned as a [[Teleporter|translocation pad]]. Both of these functions could be operated by vocal commands. When containment was activated a ring would hover above the held object, connecting the containment field to another ring on the floor. When the field was disengaged, the upper ring would rapidly fall into a socket in the floor. There was a similar device on the surface of the shield world, though it is unknown if it was just the receiving end for the teleportation system.

| The Covenant used this particular containment field device as a holding cell for [[Ellen Anders|Professor Ellen Anders]] before using her to activate the inert [[Unidentified Forerunner dreadnought class|Forerunner dreadnoughts]] docked within the facility.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign levels ''[[Shield World (level)|Shield World]]'' and ''[[Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead]]''</ref>

| == Sanctum of the Hierarchs ==
| |
| A similar, though not identical device was seen in center of the inner chamber of the [[Sanctum of the Hierarchs]] within ''[[High Charity]]''. Likely a Covenant application of the Forerunner technology, it was used to hold [[343 Guilty Spark]] in a stasis field in which it was unable to move. Instead of a thick, very conspicuous torrent of energy, the energy field holding Spark in place was barely visible. The field emitter systems were also stationary.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Sacred Icon]]''</ref>

| == Trivia ==
| |
| *This device is aesthetically very similar to the [[w:c:starwars:Geonosian containment field|Geonosian containment field]] used to hold Obi-Wan Kenobi captive in ''[[w:c:starwars:Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones|Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones]]''.
| |
| *It's possible that a device like this could [http://www.osha.gov/dts/shib/shib032404.html kill] its occupant in real life.
