Editing Anti-gravity technology

{{Status|Canon}}

The concept of '''anti-gravity technology''' involves the use of some form of energy field to counteract the force of gravity. The [[UNSC]], [[Covenant]], and [[Forerunner]]s have all developed some form of anti-gravity technology.

==Example usage==
The following are examples of devices or vehicles that incorporate anti-gravity technology, used by various groups.
===UNSC===
The UNSC possesses several iterations of anti-gravity technology, including the [[antigravity plate]] used to manipulate gravity fields. While spinning sections are commonly used on starships to simulate gravity, humans are also known to employ anti-gravity units to generate [[artificial gravity]] on starships or space stations.{{Ref/Novel|CH|Page=125}} A form of anti-gravity technology is also employed on some UNSC warships, as demonstrated by [[UNSC frigate]]s that are capable of hovering and maneuvering in a planetary atmosphere without the use of extensive thruster systems.{{Ref/Level|H3|The Storm}}{{Ref/Level|Id=tots|Tip of the Spear}}

A simpler application of anti-gravity technology is [[Gravball]], a ball game played on "repulsor courts".{{Ref/Novel|FoR|Page=21}} Other civilian uses of antigravity include levitating sculptures, such as those featured in the atrium of [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]]'s hospital.

[[Smart-assist splint]]s created an energy field around an affected limb, which offered protection and mobility assistance while alleviating some of the more painful effects of [[gravity]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=EOD22|EOD|Chapter=22}}

===Covenant===
Having reverse-engineered Forerunner artifacts for millennia, the Covenant and [[Covenant remnants|its remnants]] utilize anti-gravity technology to a far greater degree than humanity. Virtually all of their ground vehicles employ anti-gravity units known as [[boosted gravity propulsion drive]]s to hover above the ground. Likewise, even their largest starships such as [[Sh'wada-pattern supercarrier|supercarriers]] have sufficient anti-gravity devices to make them capable of hovering in atmosphere.{{Ref/Reuse|tots}} Various applications of anti-gravity are also commonplace on their larger structures, including [[High Charity]] where entire sections of the city were held aloft by powerful anti-gravity units. The Covenant also use anti-gravity technology in smaller scale, such as in their various forms of personal propulsion, ranging from the [[San'Shyuum]] [[gravity throne]]s to military [[antigravity pack]]s. Other related technologies used by the Covenant include [[gravity lift]]s and [[gravity conveyor]]s, among others.

===Forerunner===
The Forerunners had a masterful understanding of anti-gravity technology, as is evident by its many applications on Forerunner constructs. All known Forerunner automatons, ranging from the commonplace [[Sentinel]]s to the enormous and powerful [[Guardian]]s, utilize some form of anti-gravity, often referred to as [[buffer field]]s.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 93''</ref> The Forerunners also built structures supported only by powerful anti-gravity units, such as the [[Apex Site]] on [[Trove]]. [[Anti-gravity gondola]]s are floating platforms that travel along predetermined paths using anti-gravity technology.
