Protector Sentinels are exclusive to Ellen Anders, and can be made at the Firebase once the leader power has unlocked them. They are effective against vehicles, but are only okay against infantry, aircraft, and structures. Protector Sentinels are a good all-rounder air unit. The Protector's Blitz card has the following attributes;

Forerunner defense constructs controlled by Professor Anders.
Exclusive to Professor Anders, the Protector Sentinel is a flying Forerunner drone armed with an energy-based sentinel beam that is effective against all enemies. It can be upgraded to a sentinel swarm, which adds smaller Aggressor drones as an escort. Sentinels explode in an EMP blast upon death, stunning nearby enemy vehicles.
Professor Anders has shown a remarkable ability to manipulate Forerunner command codes and bypass directive locks, giving her the ability to bind the Ark's own defense constructs to her will. The full extent of her capabilities have yet to be tested, as the Professor's attention is constantly diverted to more pressing needs like finding a way home.
Production notes
During the development of Halo Wars, a design for a cut Sentinel boss - intended to appear as an enemy in the campaign level Cleansing - was concepted by Phil Wohr and modelled through to final game asset by Robert Walden.[2][3] This model (shown below) remains in the game files of Halo Wars: Definitive Edition albeit untextured. The early design was later reused almost unchanged as the Protector Sentinels introduced in Halo Wars 2.
