The '''Stealth Tactical Aerial Reconnaissance Satellte''', or '''STARS''' for short, is a piece of equipment used by the [[UNSC]] during offensive combat operations. STARS are are baseball-sized satellites that orbit one hundred kilometers over combat situations to provide in-field unmanned tactical command and to relay mission results and statistics to the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] post-mission. | The '''Stealth Tactical Aerial Reconnaissance Satellte''', or '''STARS''' for short, is a piece of equipment used by the [[UNSC]] during offensive combat operations. | ||
==Summary== | |||
STARS are extremely useful; they covertly relay communications, topgraphy information, enemy locations, and allied locations and equipment positions to the [[HUD]] of allied units in range. Furthermore, channels like TEAMBIO are relayed across STARS. | STARS are are baseball-sized satellites that orbit one hundred kilometers over combat situations to provide in-field unmanned tactical command and to relay mission results and statistics to the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] post-mission. | ||

They also broadcast orders for individual units. STARS help the UNSC military coordinate even complex operations easily and under stealth conditions, where even [[COM]] chatter can give away unit positions. | STARS are extremely useful; they covertly relay communications, topgraphy information, enemy locations, and allied locations and equipment positions to the [[HUD]] of allied units in range.

They were seen in use in the [[Battle of Pegasi Delta]] and the [[Battle of K7-49]], and operated in conjunction with [[SPARTAN-III]] commandoes. | They were seen in use in the [[Battle of Pegasi Delta]] and the [[Battle of K7-49]], and operated in conjunction with [[SPARTAN-III]] commandoes. | ||
However, as per [[Mendez]], "Machines break", and STARS was accredited for the over 99% fatality rate of [[Beta Company]] in the Battle of Pegasi Delta, where STARS failed to recognize the looming precipice of no less than seven [[Covenant Cruiser]]s over the Covenant tritium factory there. This led to a massive [[Seraph]] [[plasma charge]] bombardment and [[pulse laser]] sterilization of the SPARTAN-IIIs. | |||
