| '''Gatherer Sentinels''' are multipurpose [[Sentinel]]s designed by the [[Forerunner]]s with the functions of maintaining ecological stability in constructed biomes and the gathering of various living specimens for [[Lifeworker]] activities.<ref>[http://portela.deviantart.com/art/The-Gatherer-148543503 "The Gatherer" by Francis Portela]</ref><ref name="is4">'''[[Halo: Blood Line]]''', ''[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 4|Issue 4]]''</ref>{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P328}}

| ==Overview==
| | '''"Gatherers"'''<ref>[http://portela.deviantart.com/art/The-Gatherer-148543503 "The Gatherer" by Francis Portela]</ref> are [[Forerunner]] machines whose primary function is to gather specimens of different species and to transport them for study and cataloging. So far, these machines have only been observed operating from [[Line Installation 1-4]] on an [[Unnamed Moon]].<ref name="issueone">'''[[Halo: Blood Line]]''', ''[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 2|Issue 2]]''</ref> |
| ===Design===
| |
| Gatherer Sentinels consist of a fairly large main body with three red eyes and a holding tank for captured specimens on their backs, filled with a purple liquid. They have eight tentacle-like clawed arms, two much smaller arms, and four legs, although they are usually seen floating through the air. Gatherers are armed with an energy weapon similar to, though more powerful than, the [[Sentinel Beam]], located below the tentacles. Much like the Sentinel Beam, the weapon can be detached and used as a hand-held weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|is4}} | |

|
| ===Operation=== | | ==Description== |
| Gatherer Sentinels are typically networked in localized curation zones, with several operating under the guidance of a single [[monitor]]. When no such oversight is available, individual Gatherer Sentinels can function autonomously for long periods of time, falling back on underlying classification parameters and archival protocols.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P328}}

| ==History== | | == Trivia == |
| Gatherer Sentinels have been observed operating from [[Line Installation 1-4]] on an [[unidentified moon (Sub-sector 35)|unidentified moon]].<ref name="issueone">'''[[Halo: Blood Line]]''', ''[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 2|Issue 2]]''</ref> During the [[Battle of Line Installation 1-4]] in [[2552]], a group of Gatherers captured [[Margaret-053]], [[Reff 'Talamee]], [[Jubub]] and a [[Mgalekgolo]] who had all crash-landed on the moon and took them into the depths of the facility for experimentation.{{Ref/Reuse|issueone}} | | *The aesthetics of the Gatherer is strikingly similar to that of armored [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Huragok]]. It is possible that the design for the mechanisms attached to the Engineers was derived from that of the Gatherers, or vice-versa. |
