The '''Assembly Forges''' refer to the various manufacturing facilities of the [[Covenant]], individually referred to as an assembly forge. These facilities produced items piece-by-piece using clouds of programmable [[Nanotechnology|nanomachines]]. These nanomachines were fed instructions via a [[design pattern]], maintained by [[artisan-armorer]]s. An imperfect replication of the [[assembler vats]] once used by the [[Forerunner]]s, assembly forges are susceptible to mutations in design patterns, unaccounted variance in feedstock material, and transcription errors.<ref name="wf90">''[[Halo: Warfleet]]'', p. 90</ref> The mutation of a design pattern often required the resetting of the forge that had attempted to produce the design.<ref name="wf72">''Halo: Warfleet'', p. 72-73</ref> | The '''Assembly Forges''' refer to the various manufacturing facilities of the [[Covenant]], individually referred to as an assembly forge.

The Assembly Forges produced numerous matériel—ranging from weapons, vehicles, shuttles, and starships—for the Covenant war machine. Due to advanced manufacturing methods applied by fabrication plants like Assembly Forges, the Covenant deliberately avoided rigid standardization and mass production of their starships.<ref name="canonfodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/ | The Assembly Forges produced numerous matériel—ranging from weapons, vehicles, shuttles, and starships—for the Covenant war machine.
