The [[Assembly Forges]] refer to the various manufacturing facilities of the [[Covenant]], individually referred to as an assembly forge. These facilities produced items piece-by-piece using clouds of programmable nanomachines. These nanomachines were fed instructions via a [[design pattern]], maintained by [[artisan-armorer]]s. An imperfect replication of the [[assembler vats]] once used by the [[Forerunner]]s, assembly forges are susceptible to mutations in design patterns, unaccounted variance in feedstock material, and transcription errors.<ref name="wf90">''[[Halo: Warfleet]]'', p. 90</ref> The mutation of a design pattern often required the resetting of the forge that had attempted to produce the design.<ref name="wf72">''Halo: Warfleet'', p. 72-73</ref> | The [[Assembly Forges]] refer to the various manufacturing facilities of the [[Covenant]], individually referred to as an assembly forge.
