+The '''Super Sentinel''' is a [[Forerunner]] [[Sentinel]] variant that is considerably larger than standard [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s. Like the [[Enforcer Sentinel]]s, they are deployed to combat large [[Flood]] outbreaks, or other considerable threats.{{Ref/Site|Id=hwsite|URL=http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/maps/GlacialRavine.aspx|Site=Official Halo Wars Community Site|Page=Glacial Ravine 3v3|D=06|M=07|Y=2011|LocalArchive=Archive:Halowars.com/Skirmish_Maps/3v3_Maps#Glacial_Ravine_3v3}}{{Ref/Game|Id=gameplay|HW|Super Sentinel in-game unit}}
-The '''Super Sentinel''' is a variant of the basic [[Sentinel]] design, but considerably larger. Not much is known about the Super Sentinels' history. Like most special Sentinels, they are only used in times of large [[Flood]] infections, or other considerable threats. Super Sentinels were present during the [[Battle of the Flood-controlled Shield World]]. They were activated when the [[Shield World (Halo Wars)|Shield World's]] [[Unnamed Forerunner AI|artificial intelligence]] autonomously initiated "Stage 3 Defense Protocols", after large numbers of Flood forms, along with [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces and the crew of the {{UNSCship|Spirit of Fire}}, were detected. The Super Sentinels were tasked with eliminating these targets. The Super Sentinels on the [[Shield World]] were most likely destroyed along with the installation when the star within it went [[supernova]].
+==Operational history==
+Super Sentinels were present during the [[Battle of Trove|Battle]] of [[Trove]] in [[2531]]. They were activated when the [[shield world]]'s [[Unidentified ancilla (Shield World 0459)|artificial intelligence]] autonomously initiated "Stage 3 Defense Protocols", after large numbers of Flood forms, along with [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces and the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, were detected. Super Sentinels, along with other Sentinel variants, were tasked with eliminating these targets.{{Ref/Level|HW|Cleansing}} Additional Super Sentinels were defending the [[door interlock]] during the final stages of the battle. All Super Sentinels on Trove were most likely destroyed along with the entire installation when the star within it went [[supernova]].{{Ref/Level|HW|Escape (Halo Wars level)|Escape}}
-==Gameplay==
+==In-game information==
+===''Halo Wars''===
+The Super Sentinel appears in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', and serves as a Forerunner "Combat Support" unit. It attacks with a beam of energy that temporarily prevents an enemy ground unit from attacking while reducing its movement speed. However, the beam does not do much damage by itself.{{Ref/Reuse|gameplay}}
+*'''Super Sentinel:''' The Forerunner Super Sentinel has the unique ability to slow down enemy units while preempting their attacks.
+**'''Cost:''' {{HWPop|2}}, {{HWTech|2}}, {{HWResources|250}}
+**'''Purchase cooldown:''' 30 seconds
+Like [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s, Super Sentinels are built at the [[Sentinel factory]], which appears on the Skirmish maps [[Repository]] and [[Glacial Ravine]]. Intended to support anti-vehicle and anti-infantry operations, they are unable to engage aircraft, and require Aggressor escorts for aerial protection. On the Skirmish map [[Labyrinth]], the two [[Forerunner fort]]s at the center of the map are each defended by two Aggressor Sentinels and one Super Sentinel; this marks the only map in which the Super Sentinel appears as a neutral enemy.{{Ref/Reuse|gameplay}}

-They are available as a support unit in ''[[Halo Wars]]''. They, like regular Sentinels, are built at the [[Sentinel Shop]]. Intended to support anti-vehicle and anti-infantry operations, they are unable to engage aircraft, and require regular Sentinel escorts for aerial protection.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]'''</ref>
-They cost 250 [[resources]] and require a minimum tech level of 2 to be produced and count as 2 population. They fire a beam of energy that temporarily prevents an enemy ground unit from attacking and reduces its movement speed. However, the beam does not do much damage by itself.
