| '''Augur arrays''' are a detection technology employed by the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Book|Id=WF72|HWF|Page=72}} They are often employed on the various [[Covenant cruiser|cruisers]] of the empire and its [[Covenant remnants|remnants]], including the {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} and the various models of {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}.{{Ref/Reuse|WF72}}{{Ref/Map|Id=Truth|H5G|Truth|Detail=Map description}} Augur arrays can even be employed on specialised [[Dropship|transport shuttles]], such as the {{Pattern|R'ea'kuk|command shuttle}}.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFLore|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-cutting-room-lore|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Cutting Room Lore|D=26|M=7|Y=2022}} | | '''Augur''' was a religious position in the Covenant. Augurs were known to be tasked with divining and unlocking holy secrets from [[Forerunner]] artifacts. [[Undiminished Entelechy]] boasted multiple augurs who, working from the ship's control center, attempted to learn the secrets of [[Installation 04]] upon its discovery.<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians''', ''[[Truth]] map description''</ref> |

| Augurs can be installed on a ship to assist with targeting for various weapon systems including [[plasma beam laser]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|WF72}}{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=261}} In the case of the ''Zanar''-pattern cruiser, two such arrays are installed to assist the ship's ''Pok''-pattern lasers to target dozens of targets in rapid succession.{{Ref/Reuse|WF72}} They could also be used in noncombat roles, such as divining and unlocking holy secrets from [[Forerunner]] artifacts. The battlecruiser ''[[Undiminished Entelechy]]'' boasted multiple augurs which, working from the ship's control center, attempted to learn the secrets of [[Installation 04]] upon its discovery.{{Ref/Reuse|Truth}} The Covenant's capital [[city]]-[[Space station|station]] of [[High Charity]] was fitted with a "thousandfold" augurs in a configuration known as the [[Eye of Kel]].{{Ref/Book|HM|Page=112}} | |

| The sensor system of the [[Dovotaa Workshop Reaver]], used by the [[Banished]], was salvaged from an old unlocked Covenant-era augur assembly.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=466}}

| ==Trivia==
| |
| An [[Wikipedia:Augur|augur]], or auspex, was a priest in [[Wikipedia:Ancient Rome|Ancient Rome]] charged with studying the movement of birds as a means of divination. Given its naming, the augur array may have some in-universe relation to the [[auspex array]] also used on Forerunner and Covenant warships.
