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. They are also used as means of transport between the decks of ships.

Some smaller craft, including [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom dropships]], some [[Type-28 Troop Carrier|Spirit dropships]], and [[Deployment Platform Type-56 Ground Support/Ultra Heavy|Lich dropships]], as well as [[deployable lookout tower]]s are also equipped with gravity lift technology. Larger military emplacements such as [[Covenant 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. | ||
