Anti-gravity belt
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Ratings The Antigrav Belt is a device worn by lesser Prophets of the Covenant.
Less advanced and less ornate than the High Prophets' Gravity Thrones, Anti-grav Belts are worn around the waist of the Prophet. They serve to keep the Prophet levitating for two reasons: First, so that they do not need to walk and secondly, so that they can look down upon their lesser commanders, even the Elites. This is another way they display their power in the Covenant. San 'Shyuum - like every other mature member of their species - sat in anti-gravity chairs high above the floor, which might also speak volumes about their physical condition are simple statues in the Covenant.[1]
These belts do not have very much power of raising its occupant vertically. When Prophets need to travel up great distances, such as ascending up the Dreadnought in High Charity, they must link arms and use the combined power of many anti-gravity belts to boost themselves up. It is unknown whether they can even do it without the use of that many belts.
