Armiger

Armigers are types of Forerunner bipedal Artificial intelligence combat platforms. They are skilled in the raiding of spacecraft and close quarter combat.

Human-Forerunner war
During the Human-Forerunner War, the Ur-Didact employed the use of Armigers to raid ancient Human ships because of their ability to fight in close quarter combat.

Forerunner-Flood war
After the Didact's exile, the Ecumene found themselves unprepared for the return of the Flood. Due to the dwindling number of Warrior-Servants the Ecumene recommissioned the Armigers to fight the Flood.

Though most of them were used for fighting the Flood, a few were secretly deployed to key Forerunner sites tasked with guarding them after the firing of the Halo Array.
