'''Gravity thrones''' are the main form of transportation for the higher-ranked [[San 'Shyuum]] in the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]].<ref name="regret">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Regret (level)|Regret]]''</ref> Less sophisticated gravity thrones are known as [[anti-gravity chair]]s.<ref name="CH">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 148-149''</ref>
 
==Summary==
Instead of walking, San 'Shyuum choose to sit on [[Anti-gravity technology|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 belt]]s or less lavish anti-gravity chairs instead, only the [[Lesser Prophet]]s 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.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[High Charity]]''</ref>
 
In the rare event that a Hierarch comes under threat, their gravity thrones are equipped with dual [[gravity cannon]]s, 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 [[Slipspace translocation|teleportation]] device.<ref name="regret"/>
 
==Trivia==
*In ''[[Halo Wars]]'', the [[Prophet of Regret]] can be upgraded to use a throne that is capable of powered flight.
