'''Gravity thrones''' are the main form of transportation for the higher [[San 'Shyuum|Prophets]] of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]].
 
==Summary==
Instead of walking, [[San 'Shyuum]] choose to sit on these [[Anti-gravity technology|levitating]] thrones most of the time, which would make their lives more comfortable, due to their frail bodies. The [[Hierarchs|High Prophets]] possess versions which are equipped with a shield impervious to all small arms fire.
 
Legates do not appear to use these thrones as often, but [[San 'Shyuum]] serving military roles (such as the [[Minister of Etiology]]) have Gravity Thrones of their own, though the version they use is less advanced (it seems they don't possess weaponry or shielding). Other Ministerial [[San 'Shyuum]] such as Vice and Junior Ministers use [[Antigrav belt]]s instead.
 
Junior Legates rate the least powerful Gravity Thrones and must travel in rings of twenty or more, packed arm-to-arm to maximize their anti-grav field. Senior Ministry staffers can manage to travel in groups as small as seven, and the sophistication of Vice-Ministers' chairs makes it possible for them to commute in trios. But only full [[Minister (Title)|Ministers]] and higher are permitted to use sufficiently powerful units for individual flight. The power and comfort of Gravity Thrones are a reflection of rank.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', page 149</ref> In ''[[Halo Wars]]'', the [[Prophet of Regret]] can be upgraded to use a throne that is capable of powered flight.
 
==Equipment and Armament==
In the rare event that a Hierarch comes under threat, their gravity thrones are equipped with dual [[Gravity Cannon]]s, which can make short work of even well-armored assailants. The throne also projects a shield that is resistant to projectiles, although the Prophet is still vulnerable to melee damage.
 
Each throne has a holographic projector, with the Hierarchs' thrones including a series of small holographic buttons that can perform a variety of functions located on each armrest.
 
 
 
==Trivia==
*The [[Sangheili]] [[Shipmaster]], [[Rtas 'Vadum]] was seen using a less luxurious version of the Gravity Throne on board the [[Shadow of Intent]] but it was used as a command chair rather than a mode of transportation/life support.
