Phoenix Logs/Banished Units/Engineers

The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

Enigmatic living machines with remarkable repair abilities.

The Engineers are non-combat infantry support units that can heal nearby

friendly units and structures with their reconstitution beams. They can float

over cliffs and other impediments to escape danger, but have no offensive

abilities. Engineers have an ability to create an overshield bubble to briefly

protect itself and nearby allies.

Mysterious living machines created by the Forerunners to function as techno-

savants, Engineers have peerless knowledge of all types of technology and

seemingly inexhaustible wells of ingenuity in modifying and repairing machinery.

"Born" with an obsession to maintain and protect Forerunner artifacts,

Engineers in the service of the Banished exist in constant agony due to the

control yokes bonded to their flesh forcing them to ignore endless requests for

maintenance from the Ark as a result of Atriox's extraction and excavation

efforts.
