The '''Steward''' is a kind of [[Strato-Sentinel]], used to accompany other [[Forerunner]] machines and assist them with their tasks.{{Ref/Reuse|OD}}


==Overview==
{{Quote|'''Stewards''': These Sentinels accompany other Forerunner machines and assist them with their tasks, using a combination of support systems and offensive weaponry.The largest constructs are classified as '''strato-sentinels''', taking the roles of grand builders and overseeing architects for major Forerunner works. Those used in military applications were often classified as weapon-ships, capable of being fitted with naval-scale ordnance and defensive systems.|[[Jeff Easterling]]<ref name="steward"/>}}
===Design details===
Stewards are enormous, towering strato-sentinels with powerful grapplers and responsive thruster systems, designed to accomplish tasks far too great or tempt for others. From large-scale [[terraforming]] to tectonic alteration, Stewards are often given seemingly impossible (and infrequent) assignments to maintain infrastructure or environmental fabric of an installation.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}


The upper section of a Steward is vast and wide, with two "arms". Three glowing eye-like lights are installed on the front of each Sentinel with two "claws" below it. The lower section is lined with four mechanical, tentacle-like "legs". Three glowing eye-like lights are installed on the front of each Sentinel.{{Ref/Reuse|OD}} They utilise [[impulse drive]]s for movement, and feature [[grappler]]s for manipulating objects.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

===Armaments===
==Description==
The Stewards are fitted with a combination of support systems and offensive weaponry.{{Ref/Reuse|OD}} Their weapons can be mounted on modular hardpoints, alongside their [[Energy shielding|energy shield]] emitters. They carry armies of [[Aggressor Sentinel|Aggressor]] and [[Constructor Sentinel]]s with them to assist in their duties of both maintenance and combat. The weaponry carried by a Steward is such that they are considered a threat to their installations, should they be subverted (such as in instances of the [[logic plague]]).{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==Roles==
Strato-Sentinels were used by the Forerunners as escorts to [[keyship]]s and [[Unidentified Sentinel variant|larger Sentinel variants]].<ref name="legends">'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[Origins]]''</ref>
 
The Forerunners utilized Strato-Sentinels to help in the construction of the [[Halo Array|Halo rings]], such as the newly constructed [[Installation 08]] in [[2552]].<ref name="AH3"/>
