The '''Super Sentinel''' is a variant of the basic [[Sentinel]] design, but considerably larger. As with [[Sentinels]], they are built at a [[Sentinel Shop]], and usable by players. 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.

Not much is known about their history. Like most special Sentinels, they are only used in times of large [[Flood]] infections, or other considerable threats. Their only known appearances are briefly in Halo Legends Origins I when the flood meteor first lands and during the [[Battle of the Flood-controlled Shield World]] and the [[Battle of the Apex]]. They were activated when the [[Unnamed Forerunner AI|AI]] of the [[Shield World (Halo Wars)|Flood-controlled Shield World]] autonomously initiated "Stage 3 Defense Protocols", and large amounts of Flood along with several [[Covenant|unidentified alien species]] were detected. They were sent to cleanse the Flood and this possible "threat", which were the [[UNSC]] and the [[Covenant]]. They continued their function during the Battle of [[the Apex]]. The ones on this [[Shield World]] were most likely completely destroyed along with the installation when the star within it went [[supernova]].

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]].
