Holotank: Difference between revisions

'''Holotank''', also referred to as a '''holo-projector''', is a device used to project to a [[Holography|hologram]]. A variety of different sizes and shapes of holotank exist, and the term is used to refer to both [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 221''</ref> and [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]<ref name="CH">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''chapter 3'', page 56</ref> devices. Small holotanks commonly used by AIs are often referred to as holo-pedestals.

The Covenant commonly use holotanks on their starships, and they are plentiful in ''[[High Charity (Structure)|High Charity]]'' as well. [[AI]]s can also access the map data from the holotank's link to the Covenant information network and give directions verbally to anyone near the holotank. In ''[[Halo 2]]'', [[Cortana]] enters one to gain access to info in High Charity on the level [[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]], remaining there for the rest of the game. The Covenant also utilize [[portable holo-pedestal]]s, to communicate over distance or in the battlefield. The [[Luminary|Luminaries]] mounted on Covenant ships are typically linked to the bridge's holotank, which can display the information detected by the Luminary.<ref name="CH"/>
