Contrary to popular belief, the phrase "energy shields" does not refer to a single continuous line of development. While the electromagnetic fields used by Covenant infantry and SPARTAN-II MJOLNIR are effective, systems used by Forerunner technology and limited Covenant systems make use of a vastly different mechanism - solid light. A phase transition induces a state change in photons, resulting it the photons behaving like particles rather than as a wave, and creating solid and almost invisible plane. While UNSC technology has a very poor understanding of the systems, reverse-engineering has produced some significant results - the energy shields introduced on UNSC starships after 2553 use solid light barriers for defense, deemed appropriate given the Covenant's expansive knowledge of elec

A phase transition induces a state change in photons, resulting it the photons behaving like particles rather than as a wave, and creating solid and almost invisible plane. While UNSC technology has a very poor understanding of the systems, reverse-engineering has produced some significant results - the energy shields introduced on UNSC starships after 2553 use solid light barriers for defense, deemed appropriate given the Covenant's expansive knowledge of electromagnetic shields; even earlier, the MJOLNIR Mark IV/Vajra II V-II/B, V-II/D and V-II/E used solid light barriers for defense, though the technology for smaller-scale versions of the system were never perfected and were eventually discontinued by 2557.
