Gravity throne

Gravity thrones are the main form of transportation for the higher-ranked San 'Shyuum in the Covenant. Less sophisticated gravity thrones are known as anti-gravity chairs.

Summary
Instead of walking, San 'Shyuum choose to sit on levitating chairs most of the time, which makes their lives more comfortable, due to their frail bodies. While lesser-ranked or civilian San 'Shyuum use antigravity belts or less lavish anti-gravity chairs instead, only the Lesser Prophets and Hierarchs use gravity thrones.

Each throne has a holographic projector, with the Hierarchs' thrones including a series of small holographic buttons that can perform a variety of functions located on each armrest.

In the rare event that a Hierarch comes under threat, their gravity thrones are equipped with dual gravity cannons, which can make short work of even well-armored assailants. The throne also projects a shield that is near-impervious to all small arms fire, although the Prophet is still vulnerable to melee damage. The Hierarchs' gravity thrones also possesses a short-range teleportation device.

Trivia

 * In Halo Wars, the Prophet of Regret can be upgraded to use a throne that is capable of powered flight.
