Phoenix Logs/Forerunner/Aggressor Sentinel
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
< Phoenix Logs | Forerunner
- Forerunner sentinels that can be called in by Anders to cause area denial.
- Though their primary purpose is to maintain, repair and protect the Ark, these
- Forerunner Sentinels can be summoned by professor Anders, who has found a
- way to deploy them in the service of the UNSC. Once called, the Sentinels
- swarm into a targeted location and attack any hostiles in the area with lasers
- beams, remaining and causing area denial for a duration before returning to
- their jobs on the Ark. Any Sentinels that are destroyed emit an EMP blast,
- crippling hostile vehicles temporarily.
- The Sentinels are worker drones with basic AI, created by the Forerunners to
- safeguard their stations as well as perform repairs and maintenance. There is a
- large variety of Sentinels in both purpose, size and appearance. There are small
- Constructor drones used to maintain Forerunner structures, huge Retrievers
- used for mining and Aggressor drones for attacking any perceived threat. The
- Sentinels will only attack if they perceive a present threat; otherwise they will
- happily ignore strangers and carry on with their work.
