| Skycrypts consist of a small, circular building located atop a long, thin pole or chain. Four fin-like structures slowly rotate around the pole directly beneath the main chamber. Given the central pole's apparent lack of structural support, the spires may employ [[anti-gravity technology]] to remain aloft.{{Ref/Reuse|solitary}}

| Skycrypts were generally suspended above ice worlds, and considered virtually inescapable to their detainees. However, they offer little defence against external threats.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} At least fourteen of these structures were located on an unidentified, icy world - with [[Solitary|at least one]] housing an [[List of unidentified species|unidentified occupant]] suffering a containment failure.{{Ref/Map|Id=solitary|HR|Solitary}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2011/08/26/news-from-halo-fest/|Site=Xbox Wire|Page=News from Halo Fest|D=21|M=09|Y=2022|Quote=These spinning confinement platforms are a testament to the technological prowess of the Forerunners. In the event of a security breach, the facility’s suborbital location and frigid temperature were thought to be able to keep any threat at bay, but it appears those plans were… optimistic.}}{{Ref/Site|Id=HWTHB11911|URL=http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2011/11/09/The-Halo-Bulletin-11911-.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=News|Page=The Halo Bulletin: 11.9.11|D=30|M=4|Y=2013}}
