The Forerunners made extensive use of gravity-manipulating technology, including gravity lifts.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum'''</ref> This technology was eventually discovered and reverse-engineered by the Covenant. The usage of gravity lifts 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. | The Forerunners made extensive use of gravity-manipulating technology, including gravity lifts.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum'''</ref> This technology was eventually discovered and reverse-engineered by the Covenant.

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. [[Covenant citadel]]s employ gravity lifts to lift supplies to and from orbit, before they are stored in the base's [[Covenant warehouse|warehouses]].<ref>[http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Covenant.aspx ''Official Halo Wars Community Site'': Covenant] (defunct, [[Archive:Halowars.com/Covenant|Archived]])</ref> They are also used as means of transport between the decks of ships.

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. | ||
