The ''' | The '''antigravity belt''', sometimes shortened to '''antigrav belt''',<ref name="hbc1">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 1''</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> | ||

All mentions of Stewardship wearing a belt were replaced with "antigravity throne" in the 2010 reissue. Nevertheless, ''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]'' reestablished the antigravity belt as a canonical technology used in tandem with antigravity chairs. | ||
