'''Energy barriers''', sometimes referred to as '''energy fields''', are a type of visible energy field used to separate a pressurized environment from the vacuum of space.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 98''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 309''</ref> Energy barriers | '''Energy barriers''', sometimes referred to as '''energy fields''', are a type of visible energy field used to separate a pressurized environment from the vacuum of space.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 98''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 309''</ref> Energy barriers differ from conventional [[Energy shielding|energy shielding]] because they allow solid matter through, but not gases, such as [[oxygen]] and neon. This makes them a common sight in hangar bays. | ||
The Covenant use energy barriers as hangar doors, in [[airlock]]s and for [[Naval boarding|boarding parties]] to board enemy ships.
