Armigers were first utilized by the [[Didact]]'s [[Warrior-Servant]]s during the [[human-Forerunner wars]], from approximately [[107,445 BCE|107,445]] to [[106,445 BCE]]. The constructs proved incredibly useful in [[boarding]] actions against [[Prehistoric human civilization|prehistoric human]] [[warship]]s, particularly when attempting to infiltrate the confined spaces of human vessels.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLocke}}{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Armigers of this era demonstrated considerable autonomy when compared to their successors.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | Armigers were first utilized by the [[Didact]]'s [[Warrior-Servant]]s during the [[human-Forerunner wars]], from approximately [[107,445 BCE|107,445]] to [[106,445 BCE]].

Following the end of the conflict, the Didact was exiled during the [[ecumene Council]]'s diminishment of the Warrior-Servant [[rate]] and production of the armigers ceased. When the arrival of the [[Flood]] [[Forerunner-Flood war|threatened]] the [[ecumene]], [[Faber]]—the [[Master Builder]]—recommissioned the production of the armigers to bolster the defenses of the empire. The newly commissioned armigers supported the ranks of both [[Builder Security]] and remaining Warrior-Servant forces, though with their independence notably reduced once the effectiveness of the logic plague against armigers became clear.
