Editing Anti-gravity chair

{{Era|Covenant|UNSC|HCW}}

'''Anti-gravity chairs''' are personal conveyances used by [[Covenant Empire|the Covenant]]. They serve as the primary form of transportation for the [[San 'Shyuum]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 143''</ref> The [[Hierarchs]] use more luxurious anti-gravity chairs known as [[gravity throne]]s. [[Shipmaster]]s also use a form of anti-gravity chair as command chairs onboard [[warship]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref>

Due to their frail physiology, the San 'Shyuum make their lives more comfortable by using [[Anti-gravity technology|levitating]] chairs for transport instead of walking. While [[antigravity belt]]s are sometimes worn instead,<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 5''</ref> most mature San 'Shyuum use anti-gravity chairs of varying kind. They are controlled by [[Holography|holographic]] control panels located in the armrests.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 145''</ref> Anti-gravity chairs descended from wheeled chairs used by San 'Shyuum elders circa [[100,000 BCE]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Cryptum]]''', ''page 211''</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. [[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 Hierarchs' gravity thrones are equipped with powerful defenses, including [[energy shielding]] impervious to small-arms weaponry, a [[Slipspace translocation|teleportation device]] and [[Gravity cannon|powerful weaponry]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Regret (level)|Regret]]''</ref> In contrast, the [[Asceticism|ascetic priests]] used simple chairs made of stone due to their austere lifestyle.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 271''</ref> The San 'Shyuum are the only members of the Covenant known to use Anti-gravity chairs
