[[File:Holodrones.jpg|thumb|[[Sesa 'Refumee]] holds two holo-drones.]]
'''Holo-drones''' are small, mobile, spherical drones capable of remote use, using [[Anti-gravity technology|anti-gravity generators]] for propulsion, used for the creation of high-quality [[Holography|holographic]] real time images. 

==Background==
They are used for several functions, allowing face-to-face communication over relative short distance,<ref>'''Rtas 'Vadum''': "He's using a holo-drone. He must be ''close''."</ref> providing holographic duplicate decoys of important personnel, and engaging enemy forces without risking allied personnel.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Arbiter]]''</ref>

[[Sesa 'Refumee]], the [[Sangheili]] leader of the [[Heretics]] based on [[Basis]] and a gas mine on [[Threshold]], used one of these to taunt a [[Covenant Special Operations]] assassination team, and later used another two to assist him in battle as he tried to kill the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] but failed.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Oracle]]''</ref>

They are relatively weak in battle and a direct shot will result in static washing over their form, betraying their holographic nature. By using an unknown technology, these holo-drones can interact with the environment around them and even attack and kill the player. Though they possess rudimentary shields, and are somehow capable of using actual weapons, they don't seem to be dedicated combat equipment. Physically, they resemble inactivate [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|plasma grenades]] able to fly through the air fairly quickly, though slightly larger.

==Trivia==
*The Holo-Drone may be inspired by holograms from ''Total Recall''.
*The [[Armor abilities#Hologram|Hologram armor ability]] appears to be a less sophisticated version of this technology, producing a holographic decoy of the user that is only able to move in a straight line.

 ==Trivia==
-*The holo-drone may have been inspired by similar holographic decoy technology featured in the 1990 film ''[[Wikipedia:Total Recall (1990 film)|Total Recall]]''.
+*The Holo-Drone may be inspired by holograms from ''Total Recall''.
 *The [[Armor abilities#Hologram|Hologram armor ability]] appears to be a less sophisticated version of this technology, producing a holographic decoy of the user that is only able to move in a straight line.
-*The holo-drone's ability to physically interact with its environment and even directly inflict damage suggests that this may be accomplished through the use of [[hard light]].
-*In the ''[[Halo 2]]'' campaign level ''[[The Oracle]]'', there is a glitch allowing the player to [[Finding the holo-drone|find the holo-drone]] near the beginning of the level without triggering the scripted sequence in which the drone is activated.
