While a Halo Installation is typically under the supervision of a single Monitor, or caretaker, the enormity of its process requires numerous automated drones. These machines are commonly referred to as Sentinels. Sentinel operations meet a wide variety of ends: whether it’s the repair of damaged structures, the mining and retrieval of raw material, or most importantly, the containment of the Flood parasite during an outbreak. For this reason, the design and size of Sentinels varies as well: from the small, flitting [[Constructor]]s to the heavily-armored [[Enforcer]]s, and even larger [[Retriever Sentinel|Retrievers]], gigantic strato-sentinels which strip-mine resources sites for the rings’ construction. Held aloft by an [[anti-gravity]] system which makes the buildings mobile, large Sentinel production factories hover high above a ring’s surface, safe from the Flood. Though [[Sentinel manufacturing facility|Sentinel assemblage facilities]] do not have the same significance as other sites on the Halo Installations, their relative importance in the event of a Flood outbreak can not be ignored. Records indicate that during [[Battle of Installation 05|combat on Installation 05,]] also known as “Delta Halo”, the Flood targeted the Sentinel factory, using [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|captured Covenant weapons]] to bring it down. [[Battle of the Quarantine Zone|This event]] served as a sobering reminder of the necessity of sentinels to maintain a Flood outbreak, as well as the insidious and intelligent nature of the parasite itself. | While a Halo Installation is typically under the supervision of a single Monitor, or caretaker, the enormity of its process requires numerous automated drones.
