The automated turret is essentially a stripped-down [[Sentinel]] in design,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} with a weapon analagous to a [[Sentinel beam]].{{Ref/Reuse| | The automated turret is essentially a stripped-down [[Sentinel]] in design,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} with a weapon analagous to a [[Sentinel beam]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}} They were designed late in the war with the [[Flood]] to be easily-mass produced in widely-available [[Ferrarius Assembler Vats]], using easily-obtained frontier resources and lacking most complex components.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} When deployed, they act as an automatic antipersonnel weapon. It is typically deployed by a user in a single location to act in a defensive measure. The turret hovers in place above the ground and will fire upon any enemy targets that come within range of its sensors. It fires blue, beam-based [[plasma]] projectiles that are naturally hot enough to melt steel.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}} | ||
