'''Sentinel Majors''' are artificial flying constructs designed by the [[Forerunners]] and serve on the [[Halo]] Installations.
 
==Introduction==
They are similar to a regular [[Sentinel]], but are gold in color, have stronger beams, are protected by a light energy shield, and fire more accurately. They were only observed on [[Installation 05]].
 
Sentinels have been known to have been created long before Installation 04 was ever conceived. They operated automated facilities such as Gas Mines like the one found on [[Threshold]] for "untold centuries" before the facility was redesigned to research the [[Flood]]. Therefore it is possible that they were only outfitted for combat after the Flood was discovered.

==Function==
The Sentinels are the "police" of the Halo installations, and are controlled by the [[Monitor]] of the Installation. Their primary purpose is to contain small outbreaks of Flood, however they can only manage flood for a short time. Should an outbreak grow beyond the sentinels' ability to control, [[Enforcers]] and Sentinel Majors are activated by the Monitor of the Installation to assist the Sentinels.
 
In combat, their shields are less powerful than that of an [[Elite]], and the beam fired is blue instead of orange. It is also more powerful, but its battery drains faster as a result. You can pick up this beam and the normal beam as your primary and secondary [[weapons]]. One can tell the difference between the weapons simply by noting that the stronger of the two is gold in color, rather than steel.
 
== Trivia ==
*In [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], in the levels, [[Two Betrayals]] and [[The Maw]], a few Sentinel Minors have shields.
*The Sentinel Majors did not appear in Halo 3.
*A Sentinel Major's Sentinel Beam fires a blue beam instead of orange.
*When a Sentinel Major's Sentinel Beam is dropped it takes the color of an average Sentinel Beam. When picked up, however, the color is gold like a Sentinel Major.
