The '''anti-gravity belt''', sometimes shortened to '''anti-grav belt'''<ref name="hbc1">'''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]''', ''page 1''</ref> and also known as a '''gravitational mod belt''',<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 13'' (Google Play edition)</ref> is a [[San'Shyuum]] gravity-mitigating mobility aid typically used when a San'Shyuum chooses to vacate their [[anti-gravity chair]]. It is worn around the waist underneath a San'Shyuum's robes. Rather than [[Anti-gravity technology|levitating]] its wearer like an anti-gravity chair, the belt merely reduces the gravitational pull the user is subjected to, allowing the San'Shyuum to walk more freely as they are a fairly feeble race.<ref name="hbc5">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 5''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 214''</ref> The belt's gravity-manipulation mechanism can also support its wearer during extreme acceleration of a spacecraft, for example, preventing them from being thrown about uncontrollably.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 10''</ref>

The '''Antigrav Belt''' is a device worn by lesser [[Prophets]] of the [[Covenant]]. Less advanced and less ornate than the [[High Prophets]]' [[Gravity Throne]]s, Antigrav Belts are worn around the waist of the Prophet. They serve to keep the Prophet levitating for two reasons; One, so that they do not need to walk and two so that they can look down upon their lesser commanders, even the [[Elites]]. This is another way they display their power in the Covenant.


San'Shyuum used such technology as early as the [[San'Shyuum-Sangheili War]], when San'Shyuum [[Reformist]] warriors—including the [[Steward]]s of [[High Lord]]s—wore anti-gravity belts.{{Ref/Reuse|hbc1}}
These belts do not have very much power of raising its ocupant vertically. When [[Prophets]] need to travel up great distances, such as ascending up the [[Dreadnought]] in [[High Charity]], they must link arms and use the combined power of many antigravity belts to boost themselves up.


==Production notes==
[[Category:The Covenant]]
The [[Prophet of Stewardship]] was described as wearing an anti-gravity belt which he used to elevate himself above his subordinates in the original edition of ''[[Halo: The Flood]]''; this is likely because the anti-gravity chairs had not yet been introduced into the canon at the time the novel was written despite being considered standard equipment for Prophets in later fiction. All mentions of Stewardship wearing a belt were replaced with "anti-gravity throne" in the 2010 reissue. Nevertheless, ''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]'' reestablished the anti-gravity belt as a canonical technology used in tandem with anti-gravity chairs.
