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 (Halo 2 level)|Regret]]''</ref>

While predominantly used by the San'Shyuum, some [[shipmaster]]s also use a form of anti-gravity chair as command chairs onboard [[warship]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref> These chairs are considered less luxurious versions of the gravity thrones used by the Hierarchs.{{Ref/Reuse|enc136}}
