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]]''', ''page 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 | 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]]''', ''page 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]]. | ||
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>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]''</ref> By [[2552]], some UNSC ships and stations also use vacuum-sealing energy fields in their hangar bays.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', multiplayer map, ''[[Anchor 9 (level)|Anchor 9]]''</ref> Hangars on some UNSC warships double as cargo bays, being able to lower vehicles or cargo directly to the ground through [[elevator]]s in the hangar floor.<ref name="ark"/> | 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.
