The concept of '''anti-gravity technology''' involves the use of some form of energy field to counteract the force of gravity. The [[UNSC]], [[Covenant]], and [[Forerunner]]s have all developed some form of anti-gravity technology. | The concept of '''anti-gravity technology''' involves the use of some form of energy field to counteract the force of gravity.

Having reverse-engineered Forerunner artifacts for millennia, the Covenant and [[Covenant remnants|its remnants]] utilize anti-gravity technology to a far greater degree than humanity. Virtually all of their ground vehicles employ anti-gravity units known as [[boosted gravity propulsion drive]]s to hover above the ground.

Virtually all of their ground vehicles employ anti-gravity units known as [[boosted gravity propulsion drive]]s to hover above the ground. Likewise, even their largest starships such as [[Sh'wada-pattern supercarrier|supercarriers]] have sufficient anti-gravity devices to make them capable of hovering in atmosphere.{{Ref/Reuse|tots}} Various applications of anti-gravity are also commonplace on their larger structures, including [[High Charity]] where entire sections of the city were held aloft by powerful anti-gravity units. The Covenant also use anti-gravity technology in smaller scale, such as in their various forms of personal propulsion, ranging from the [[San'Shyuum]] [[gravity throne]]s to military [[antigravity pack]]s. Other related technologies used by the Covenant include [[gravity lift]]s and [[gravity conveyor]]s, among others. | ||

The Forerunners had a masterful understanding of anti-gravity technology, as is evident by its many applications on Forerunner constructs. All known Forerunner automatons, ranging from the commonplace [[Sentinel]]s to the enormous and powerful [[Guardian]]s, utilize some form of anti-gravity, often referred to as [[buffer field]]s.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 93''</ref> The Forerunners also built structures supported only by powerful anti-gravity units, such as the [[Apex Site]] on [[ | The Forerunners had a masterful understanding of anti-gravity technology, as is evident by its many applications on Forerunner constructs.

[[Anti-gravity gondola]]s are floating platforms that travel along predetermined paths using anti-gravity technology. | ||
