'''Skyhooks''' are | '''Skyhooks''' are suborbital platforms anchored to a low planetary orbit. [[Earth]] and its [[natural satellite]], [[Luna]], house a number of [[UNSC Defense Force|military]]-oriented skyhook defense complexes in their orbits. Crucial to the defense of humanity's homeworld, these stations came under attack by the [[Covenant]] during the [[Battle of Earth]] in late [[2552]]. [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] security personnel equipped with [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/AA variant|Air Assault-class armor]] were deployed to prevent the Covenant from gaining control of these facilities. The [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Orbital|Orbital]] armor variant also underwent extensive field-testing in these engagements.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/Halo4Guide '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Halo 4 Interactive Guide'']</ref> The colony world of [[Vodin]] also housed a number of skyhooks, which were attacked by the Covenant when they invaded the planet in [[2532]]. During the battle, [[Randall-037]] fell into Vodin's atmosphere from one of these platforms, landing in one of the planet's oceans.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/randall-aiken '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Randall Aiken'']</ref> | ||
Judging by their description, the [[Forerunner]] [[Threshold gas mine|gas mine]] over [[Threshold]] appears to resemble a skyhook in its general principle, being suspended deep in the gas giant's atmosphere by a cable attached to a high-altitude suspension grid.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[The Oracle]]''</ref> | |||
