Their comfort and vertical anti-gravity propulsion capacity is directly proportional to the San'Shyuum's status and rank; the chairs used by [[junior staffer|Junior Ministry staffers]] need to combine their anti-gravity fields by linking arms and traveling in tightly-packed "commuting rings" of twenty or more when crossing longer distances. [[Senior staffer]]s can manage to travel in groups as small as seven, while the sophistication of [[Vice Minister]]s' chairs allows them to commute in trios. Only full Ministers and higher are permitted to use sufficiently powerful units for individual flight.<ref name="CH">'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 149''</ref> The [[Asceticism|ascetic priests]] used simple chairs made of stone as a reflection of their austere lifestyle.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 271''</ref> | Their comfort and vertical anti-gravity propulsion capacity is directly proportional to the San'Shyuum's status and rank; the chairs used by [[junior staffer|Junior Ministry staffers]] need to combine their anti-gravity fields by linking arms and traveling in tightly-packed "commuting rings" of twenty or more when crossing longer distances.

Anti-gravity chairs become more powerful and better-equipped as the San'Shyuum's rank increases. In the rare event that a Hierarch comes under threat, their gravity thrones are equipped with dual [[assault cannon]]s, which can make short work of even well-armored assailants. The throne also projects an [[energy shield]] that is virtually impenetrable to all small arms fire, although the Prophet is still vulnerable to melee damage. The Hierarchs' gravity thrones also possesses a short-range [[Slipspace translocation|teleportation]] capability.<ref name="regret">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Regret ( | Anti-gravity chairs become more powerful and better-equipped as the San'Shyuum's rank increases.
