How the hell is there gravity in UNSC and for that matter Covenant ships?
Both the Covenant and the UNSC have some artificial gravity device that can produce a gravitational field. The novels also mention some UNSC ships having spinning sections, but that's been ignored in the games so far.
If 1g was produced solely from rotation, it would have 1 rotation every 75 minutes and be spinning at roughly 7 km/s. But it's also mentioned in TFOR that there's some sort of other artificial gravity as well.
In regards to the other gravity technology the UNSC has, they don't use it usually because it's expensive. Also, if I'm remembering correctly, they turn off the spinning sections in combat usually.
