A Kindler is a small, floating, spherical device used by the Covenant when exploring unknown territory. The Kindler emits two oscillating beams of purple light that scan its surroundings as it moves, creating a holographic map for its handlers.
History[edit]
In late 2525, during the Battle of Alpha Corvi II, Covenant forces used a Kindler to explore the underground tunnels beneath the mining settlement of Black Reef in their search for Forerunner technology on the Human colony.[1]
In 2551, during the Battle of Meridian, a Covenant Special Operations team used a Kindler to search for Forerunner artifacts hidden beneath the surface of the world. Ultimately, it discovered a Luminary inside a large Forerunner chamber.[2]
Trivia[edit]
The Kindler is very similar in design and function to the mapping drones used to scan LV-223's tunnels in the 2012 film Prometheus.
Gallery[edit]
Sangheili utilizing a Kindler on Alpha Corvi II.
Spartan Blue Team encounters hostiles with a Kindler beneath Black Reef.
A Kig-Yar activates a Kindler on Meridian.
A Kindler producing a real-time holographic readout of a cave system.
