The '''Super Sentinel'''<ref name="wars">'''Halo Wars'''</ref><ref name="ensemble">[http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/maps/GlacialRavine.aspx '''Halowars.com''': ''Glacial Ravine 3v3'']</ref> is a [[Sentinel]] variant that is considerably larger than standard [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s. Like the [[Enforcer]]s, they are only used to combat large [[Flood]] outbreaks, or other considerable threats.  

Super Sentinels were present during the [[Battle of the Etran Harborage]]. 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. These Sentinels on the [[shield world]] were most likely destroyed along with the entire installation when the star within it went [[supernova]].

==Gameplay==

They are available as a support unit in ''[[Halo Wars]]''. They, like regular Aggressors, are built at the [[Sentinel Shop]]. Intended to support anti-vehicle and anti-infantry operations, they are unable to engage aircraft, and require Aggressor escorts for aerial protection.<ref name="wars"/>

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.
