The '''holotank''', also referred to as a '''holo-projector''', is a device used to project a [[Holography|hologram]]. Small holotanks commonly used by [[AI]]s are often referred to as '''holo-pedestals''', while table-sized ones are known as '''holotables'''.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level ''[[The Signal]]''</ref>
Holotanks are small devices widely used in the [[UNSC]]. They are used project a hologram of information, and are normally reserved for [[AI]]s, though other information can be displayed, such as mission recordings and holo-vids.

Most [[UNSC]] ships and facilities are equipped with holotanks to display information such as tactical readouts, holographic communiques, or mission recordings.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 221''</ref> UNSC holotanks vary greatly in size and shape, ranging from small cylindrical pedestals reserved for [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[avatar]]s to large tables used to display tactical information on the [[bridge]] of a warship, for example.


One such holotank is the [[HBT-215 Holographic Imaging Table]].{{Ref/Generic|Id=H5E3HLE|Heading=[[Halo 5: Guardians E3 Hololens Experience]]}}

The Covenant commonly use holotanks on their starships,{{Ref/Novel|Id=CH|CH|Chapter=3|Page=56}} and they are plentiful in ''[[High Charity]]'' as well. [[Artificial intelligence|AIs]] can also access the map data from the holotank's link to the Covenant information network and give directions verbally to anyone near the holotank. During the [[Fall of High Charity]], [[Cortana]] entered one to aid [[John-117]]'s passage through the city, remaining there long after the space station was transformed into a [[Flood hive]]. The Covenant also utilize portable holo-pedestals to communicate over distance or in the battlefield. The [[Luminary|Luminaries]] mounted on Covenant ships are typically linked to the bridge's holotank, which can display the information detected by the Luminary.{{Ref/Reuse|CH}}
