-A '''Protector Plant''' is a type of [[Forerunner]] [[Sentinel]] [[Sentinel Shop|Factory]] found in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', but unlike the Sentinel Factory, it is smaller and can be used to purchase three types of [[Protectors]], instead of standard Sentinels and [[Super Sentinel|Super Sentinels]]. These Protectors have the ability to attach themselves to a unit to give it support. The three types are Offensive, Healing, and Shield:

+A '''Protector plant''' is an underground variant of the [[Forerunner]] [[Sentinel manufacturing facility]], capable of constructing [[Protector Sentinel (Trove)|Protector Sentinels]]. The Protector Sentinels exit the facility via a tunnel connecting the facility to its exterior. Like the [[Sentinel factory]], the square-shaped exit is characterised by four pillars at each of its corners, but the Protector plants lack the two protrusions on the exit's inner wall. Two such facilities were located within the [[shield world]] [[Trove]].{{Ref/Map|HW|Labyrinth}}
-*"''Shield''" creates a shield, similar to a [[Bubble Shield]] in [[Halo 3]].
+==In-game information==
-*"''Offensive''" makes the Protector engage anything that attacks the units it's attached to.
+Two Protector Plants appear exclusively in the ''[[Halo Wars]]'' Skirmish level [[Labyrinth]], initially defended by [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s. Unlike other bonus buildings, the building cannot be garrisoned. Players with a unit nearby may access its menu and purchase Protector units, which can then be attached to friendly units as support. The Protector units are produced instantly and construction must recharge before being able to produce a new unit, much like the UNSC leaders' Support Abilities.
-*"''Healing''" heals the squad after combat, similar to the Medic for [[UNSC]] [[Marines]].
-It is only found on [[Labyrinth]] (2vs2).
+The visually-similar Sentinel Factory produces Aggressor Sentinels and [[Super Sentinel]]s instead of Protector Sentinel.
