Gravity thrones are the main form of transportation for the higher-ranked San 'Shyuum in the Covenant.[1] They are a more luxurious variant of the anti-gravity chairs used by most San 'Shyuum.[2]
Summary
Instead of walking, San 'Shyuum choose to sit on levitating chairs most of the time, which makes their lives more comfortable, due to their frail bodies. While lesser-ranked or civilian San 'Shyuum use antigravity belts or less lavish anti-gravity chairs instead, only the Lesser Prophets and Hierarchs use gravity thrones.
Gravity thrones are equipped with holographic projectors, with the Hierarchs' thrones including a series of small holographic buttons that can perform a variety of functions located on each armrest.[3]
In the rare event that a Hierarch comes under threat, their gravity thrones are equipped with dual assault cannons, which can make short work of even well-armored assailants. The throne also projects a shield that is near-impervious to all small arms fire, although the Prophet is still vulnerable to melee damage. The Hierarchs' gravity thrones also possesses a short-range teleportation capability.[1]
Trivia
In Halo Wars, the Prophet of Regret can be upgraded to use a throne that is capable of powered flight.
