| The '''Super Sentinel''' is a [[Forerunner]] [[Sentinel]] variant that is considerably larger than standard [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s.

| Super Sentinels were present during the [[Battle of Trove|Battle]] of [[Trove]] in [[2531]]. 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.{{Ref/Level|HW|Cleansing}} Additional Super Sentinels were defending the [[door interlock]] during the final stages of the battle. All Super Sentinels on Trove were most likely destroyed along with the entire installation when the star within it went [[supernova]].{{Ref/Level|HW|Escape (Halo Wars level)|Escape}} | | Super Sentinels were present during the [[Battle of Shield 0459]].

| The Super Sentinel appears in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', and serves as a Forerunner "Combat Support" unit. It attacks with a beam of energy that temporarily prevents an enemy ground unit from attacking while reducing its movement speed. However, the beam does not do much damage by itself.{{Ref/Reuse|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"/> |

| Like [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s, Super Sentinels are built at the [[Sentinel factory]], which appears on the Skirmish maps [[Repository]] and [[Glacial Ravine]]. Intended to support anti-vehicle and anti-infantry operations, they are unable to engage aircraft, and require Aggressor escorts for aerial protection. On the Skirmish map [[Labyrinth]], the two [[Forerunner fort]]s at the center of the map are each defended by two Aggressor Sentinels and one Super Sentinel; this marks the only map in which the Super Sentinel appears as a neutral enemy.{{Ref/Reuse|gameplay}}
| | 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. |
