There are two ways to reach the top of the Spire: via the same [[gravity lift]]s that hold the upper level aloft, or off one of several lifts positioned at intervals around the Spire. | There are two ways to reach the top of the Spire: via the same [[gravity lift]]s that hold the upper level aloft, or off one of several lifts positioned at intervals around the Spire. | ||

The shields generated by the Spire must be deactivated manually through a control interface in the upper portion of the structure. | ||
Covenant spires are presumably deployed from starships and dropped directly onto their intended location; this is evidenced by at least the nature of the only Spire known to be ever observed at close range, [[Spire One]]. The Spire's base lay partially buried at the center of a massive crater, surrounded by blasted sand. This may have resulted from it being dropped from a great height. | Covenant spires are presumably deployed from starships and dropped directly onto their intended location; this is evidenced by at least the nature of the only Spire known to be ever observed at close range, [[Spire One]].
