No sheilds just regular old armor. But they carry powerful ship[ based weapons. Their main gun is a magnetically acelerated slug that can tear throught the ships and shields of the covenant, But it is slow loading and usually they only carry one or two. The planets can carry much larger versions that could take out larger class ships and fire more rapidly.
They also have other ammo based weapons like machine guns and artillery. Near the end of the novels they gained a captured covenant cruiser and modified its laser weaposn system. I am sure if they get some techs on the info gained from it they could create them.
They also started to work with shielding systems for their spartans and probobly the ships too eventually. |
OK. I don't see how they can take on the Empire and win though. Armor+ray shielding+particle shielding not to mention the energy weapon systems employed and the galactic scale industrial base etc...
