Gravitic technology is commonly employed in weaponry, with the [[Jiralhanae]] (especially the [[Banished]]) employing the use of [[gravitic accelerator]]s, or "gravitic catapults", for the operation of their Spike weaponry.<ref name="OSFM45">''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', p.45</ref><ref name="OSFM190">''Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual'', p.45</ref> The Forerunners employed specialised weapon systems aboard their spacecraft such as the [[torsion driver]], designed to use gravity to rip spacecraft apart and subject their innermost components to concentrated fire from [[directed energy weapon]]s.<ref name="WF81">''Halo: Warfleet'', Dragoons - p.80-81</ref> | Gravitic technology is commonly employed in weaponry, with the [[Jiralhanae]] (especially the [[Banished]]) employing the use of [[gravitic accelerator]]s, or "gravitic catapults", for the operation of their Spike weaponry.<ref name="OSFM45">''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', p.45</ref><ref name="OSFM190">''Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual'', p.45</ref> The Forerunners employed specialised weapon systems aboard their spacecraft such as the [[torsion driver]], designed to use gravity to rip spacecraft apart and subject their innermost components to concentrated fire from [[directed energy weapon]]s.<ref name="WF81">''Halo: Warfleet'', Dragoons - p.80-81</ref> The Covenant employ [[gravitic web]]s inside their [[drop pod]]s to protect their occupants from sudden deceleration<ref name="WF66">''Halo: Warfleet'', Insertion Pods - p.66</ref>, a technology similarly mimiced inside some UNSC armor systems including the [[AVIATOR-class Mjolnir]].<ref name="H4EVG">''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]'', p.147</ref> The {{Class|Halberd|destroyer}} employs gravitic technology to accelerate/ decelerate small craft such as [[space fighter]]s and [[dropship]]s.<ref name="WF32">''Halo: Warfleet'', Destroyers - p.32</ref> | ||
