User:Shacho/Sentinel Guardian

Sentinel Guardians are powerful Forerunner Sentinels. Only two have been seen, and were fought during the Battle of Protector Installation 101.

Function
During the Forerunner-Flood War, the Forerunners created Protector Installations. These installations were created to protect species that have been nearly gone extinct, thanks to the Flood. Sentinel Guardians were created to ensure that no creature (besides Forerunners) could enter or leave the Protector Installation.

Tactics
Because Sentinel Gaurdians have good shielding, so they don't have to worry much about some weapons. Their main weapon is a a powerful laser, which can eradicate any lifeforms (including Flood) at a single touch. They can also crush creatures by stepping on them with their fleet. They are fixed to one spot, forcing them to not be able to dodge attacks. This gave the forerunners a good reason to give them good shielding.
