Elevators are commonplace throughout various [[Forerunner]] installations. These elevators and their control panels have a tendency to be geometric, like most things of Forerunner design. Forerunner lifts have several methods of propulsion. How exactly they work is not always clear. Most lifts move without apparent propulsion systems at all, some have beams of energy supporting them, such as the lifts on [[Installation 00|the Ark]]. | Elevators are commonplace throughout various [[Forerunner]] installations.

Humans use lifts in all sorts of structures, including starships and [[space station]]s. Human lifts are mostly traditional and utilitarian in design. They are usually powered by conventional methods, such as cables or tracks.

Lifts used by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] differ from their human-made counterparts. Instead of using traditional conventional methods, they utilize a more advanced technology, called ''gravity lifts''. These devices create antigravity fields, which can be used to safely move objects vertically without any kind of moving platform. | Lifts used by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] differ from their human-made counterparts.

Gravity lifts are mostly used in Covenant cities and structures, such as their capital [[High Charity]]. They are also used in Covenant starships to transport and deploy troops and objects to a surface safely.

Aside from their ubiquitous battlefield applications, Covenant gravity lifts have been encountered several times, most notably during the [[boarding]] of the [[Ket-pattern battlecruiser|battlecruiser]] ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]''</ref> and during the [[Fall of Reach]], when [[SPARTAN-B312]] could use one to get to the top of [[Spire One]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''</ref> | Aside from their ubiquitous battlefield applications, Covenant gravity lifts have been encountered several times, most notably during the [[Naval boarding|boarding]] of the [[Ket-pattern battlecruiser|battlecruiser]] ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]''</ref> and during the [[Fall of Reach]], when [[SPARTAN-B312]] could use one to get to the top of [[Spire One]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''</ref> | ||
