The Steward is a kind of Strato-Sentinel, used to accompany other Forerunner machines and assist them with their tasks.^[1]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

Stewards are enormous, towering strato-sentinels with powerful grapplers and responsive thruster systems, designed to accomplish tasks that would be too great or remote for other classes of sentinel.^[2] The upper section of a Steward is vast and wide, with two "arms." Three glowing eye-like lights are installed on the front of each Sentinel with two "claws" below it. The lower section is lined with four mechanical, tentacle-like "legs." Three glowing eye-like lights are installed on the front of each Sentinel.^[1] They utilize impulse drives for movement, and feature grapplers for manipulating objects.^[2]

Armaments[edit]

The Stewards are fitted with a combination of support systems and offensive weaponry.^[1] Their weapons can be mounted on modular hardpoints, alongside their energy shield emitters. They carry armies of Aggressor and Constructor Sentinels with them to assist in their duties of both maintenance and combat, as well as to protect the Stewards themselves from becoming compromised. The weaponry carried by a Steward is such that they are considered a threat to their installation, should they be subverted.^[2]

Operation[edit]

Assignments given to Stewards include large-scale terraforming, tectonic alteration, and other seemingly impossible tasks involved with the maintenance of infrastructure or environmental fabric of an installation. Although such events are infrequent, Stewards are capable of assisting other sentinels during combat operations, through the use of support systems and its impressive array of weaponry. Stewards are often found lurking within the depths of an installation or even in the dark vacuum around its exterior as they inexorably focus on their work.^[2]
