An '''antigravity plate''', or '''grav plate''', is a small form of [[anti-gravity technology]] developed by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. As of [[2531]], they were considered old technology and they never were widespread. Grav plates were designed to be attached to other objects, thereby enabling them to float off the ground.<ref>''[[Halo: Fractures]]'', ''[[Into the Fire]]''</ref> Notably, an antigravity plate was used in [[Operation: SMOKING ACES|one instance]] by [[Insurrectionist]]s to incapacitate [[Blue Team|a group]] of [[Spartan-II]]s by simulating the force of 10 g's of gravity, which caused their [[Mjolnir]] armor's compensatory mechanisms to drastically increase the internal pressure of the suits. | An '''antigravity plate''', or '''grav plate''', is a small form of [[anti-gravity technology]] developed by the [[United Nations Space Command]].

Zenostium plasma is a critical component in the manufacturing of antigravity plates. The [[Wikipedia:Flux tube|flux tube]] between the gas giant [[Hephestes]] and its [[natural satellite]], [[Nephis]], is a source of zenostium that is mined by the [[Nephis Coalition]]. Due to the importance of the flux tube to the [[United Nations Space Command]]'s infrastructure, any threat of civil unrest on the moon or commercial rivalry between the Nephis Coalition and competitors is taken very seriously. | Zenostium plasma is a critical component in the manufacturing of antigravity plates.
