| '''Gravity Thrones''' are the main form of transportation for the higher [[Prophets]] of the [[Covenant]].
| |
| | |
| ==Summary==
| |
| Instead of walking, [[San 'Shyuum]] choose to sit on these levitating thrones most of the time, which would make their lives more comfortable, due to their frail bodies. The [[High Prophets]] posess versions which are equipped with a shield impervious to nearly all small arms fire.
| |
| | |
| It is also equipped with a modified version of the [[Mgalekgolo]] [[Assault Cannon]]. This weapon is called the [[Gravity Cannon]]. It appears that each throne has a holographic projector, the Hierarchs' thrones including a series of small holographic buttons that can perform a variety of commands located on each armrest.
| |
| | |
| Legates do not appear to use these thrones as often, but [[San 'Shyuum]] serving military roles (such as the [[Minister of Etiology]]) have Gravity Thrones of their own, though the version they use is less advanced (it seems they don't possess weaponry or shielding). Other Ministerial [[San 'Shyuum]] such as Vice and Junior Ministers use [[Antigrav Belt]]s instead.
| |
| | |
| Junior Legates rate the least powerful Gravity Thrones and must travel in rings of twenty or more, packed arm-to-arm to maximize their anti-grav field. Senior Ministry staffers can manage to travel in groups as small as seven, and the sophistication of Vice-Ministers' chairs makes it possible for them to commute in trios. Only full Ministers and Prophets rated units sufficiently powerful for individual flight.<ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]], p. 149</ref> In [[Halo Wars]] the [[Prophet of Regret]] can be upgraded to use a throne that is capable of powered flight.
| |
| | |
| Shipmaster [[Rtas 'Vadum]] was seen using a less luxurious version of the gravity throne, on board the [[Shadow of Intent]].
