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.

Larger military emplacements such as [[Deployment spire|spires]] possess gravity lifts for transport between the structure's various levels. Small, [[portable gravity lift|infantry-portable versions]] of the gravity lift are used by Covenant forces. | ||

A variety of technologies employ gravity manipulation similar to gravity lifts; these include the [[man cannon]], which propels individuals or objects in a tilted angle as opposed to a vertical span, or the [[gravity bridge]], which consists of a horizontally-oriented gravity field. | A variety of technologies employ gravity manipulation similar to gravity lifts; these include the [[man cannon]], which propels individuals or objects in a tilted angle as opposed to a vertical span, or the [[gravity bridge]], which consists of a horizontally-oriented gravity field. | ||

{{Main|Portable gravity lift}} | |||
In ''[[Halo 3]]'', in addition to standard gravity lifts and man cannons being available to players, the portable gravity lift is a piece of [[equipment]] that can be deployed. | |||
===''Halo Wars''=== | |||
[[File:HW CitadelGravityLift.png|thumb|250px|The Citadel's gravity lift in-game in ''Halo Wars''.]] | |||
{{Quote|Teleport Units to Leader.|In-game description}} | |||
In ''[[Halo Wars]]'', when a [[Covenant Citadel]] is built, a Gravity Lift is placed at the front of the base. All friendly units other than the [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] can be sent to the gravity lift, which transports them to the Leader unit's location. Players may also set a Citadel's Base Rally Point on the gravity lift, so all newly trained units from the selected Citadel would be sent to the gravity lift and transported to the Leader unit upon deployment. | |||
