Gravity lift



The gravity lift is a form of transport derived from Forerunner technology by the Covenant. A gravity lift can safely transport individuals or goods vertically without the need for a physical lift.

Applications
The Forerunners made extensive use of gravity-manipulating technology, including gravity lifts. This technology was eventually discovered and reverse-engineered by the Covenant. The usage of gravity lifts, as well as the related gravity conveyor, is commonplace in many of the Covenant's structures and installations, including their former holy city High Charity; there, gravity lifts served as the primary form of vertical transport, often in the form of long tubes that ran inside the city's towers.

Gravity lifts can also be projected from the underside of most Covenant starships. They can be used to lift ground-based troops and equipment onto a ship, or to safely transport troops to a planetary surface. They are also used as means of transport between the decks of ships. Some smaller craft, including Phantom dropships and some Spirit dropships, as well as deployable lookout towers are also equipped with gravity lift technology. Larger military emplacements such as spires possess gravity lifts for transport between the structure's various levels. Small, infantry-portable versions of the gravity lift are used by Covenant forces.
