A '''Soldier''', occasionally referred to as a '''Promethean Soldier''' due to the constructs' operational origins,<ref name="canonfodder"/> is a class of the [[armiger]] developed and primarily utilized by the [[Forerunner]] [[Promethean]]s.<ref name="universe"/><ref name="canonfodder"/> Classified as bipedal combat platforms, Soldiers were deployed during the [[human-Forerunner wars]] and the Forerunners' [[Forerunner-Flood war|war]] against the [[Flood]].<ref name="universe"/> | |||
==Description== | |||
Unlike the [[Promethean Knight]], which are controlled by the [[Composer|composed]] essences of formerly living beings, Soldiers are purely [[artificial intelligence]]-driven.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/canon-fodder-6-19-15-under-locke-keynote/a020824e-e55e-4802-b824-6d57ba6b1349/posts?page=1#post7 '''Halo Waypoint Forums''': ''Canon Fodder 6-19-15: Under Locke & Keynote (post by GrimBrotherOne)'']</ref> Soldiers have a distinctly humanoid appearance in comparison to other Promethean constructs and [[Sentinel]]s;<ref>'''[[Halo: Cryptum]]''', ''page 256''</ref> they have one set of arms with small, five-fingered hands. Their main locomotion is provided by a pair of long, thin legs designed for agility and speed. Soldiers are covered in patterns of light and have a fire-like glow inside their heads. In addition, they are capable of [[slipspace translocation]]. Unlike the other Promethean units, Promethean Soldiers are also capable of speech. The Soldiers encountered in the modern era are known to taunt their [[human]] opponents in [[English]].<ref name="E3 2015 Gameplay Reveal">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwjwJ9Z_XYs '''YouTube''': ''Halo 5 E3 Campaign Demo'']</ref> | |||
== | ==History== | ||
During the Human-Forerunner war, the [[Ur-Didact]] employed the use of the Armigers. Due to their bipedal form and their agility, the Armigers proved incredibly useful for raiding ancient human warships, particularly when attempting to infiltrate the often more confined spaces of human vessels. | |||
Following the conflict, the Didact was forced into exile by the [[ecumene]] Council, and his rate was diminished. When the [[Flood]] eventually returned, the ecumene found themselves dangerously unprepared, and so the [[Master Builder]] [[Faber]] recommissioned the production of Armigers to combat the Flood and to compensate for the dwindling number of [[Warrior-Servant]]s. | |||
While most Soldiers were expended during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], some were tasked with guarding key Forerunner sites in the event the [[Halo Array]] was fired. The [[UNSC]] first encountered these Soldiers in [[2558]], and they have since been integrated into the [[Spartan-IV]] [[War Games]] simulations. | |||
