Voi factory workers

"Um... I'm a mechanic, not a soldier."

- Voi Factory Worker when given a heavy gun by the Chief

"I was just safing up some of the M6s in their racks when I heard the creaking of the bay door. Then a green beam shoots in and blows up our fusion supply and kills Samuel, Vicenty, and Adams. That's when he showed up."

- Anonymous Voi Factory worker.

In Halo 3 Voi Factory Workers play a minor role in the level "The Storm". They appear to be employees of Traxus Factory Complex 09. They do not have as much weapons training as Marines, so their combat effectiveness is minor. You can, however, outfit them with better weapons. Sheer numbers make up for the lack of weapons training. During the Battle of Voi they helped John-117 and the Arbiter destroy the Covenant presence. However, the Flood attacked, turning most, if not all, of the workers into Combat Forms. These combat forms where all then killed when the Elites glassed the area.

Classifications

 * Normal Factory Workers- As seen in the Halo 3 E3 video, they wear light blue shirts, pants, and yellow hard hats. Since the most likely use of factories in the UNSC is weapon production, because of the war, the workers are armed with M6G Personal Defense Weapon System pistols or have easy access to them if the factories were ever compromised. (Note: all classifications are speculated since there are no known titles mentioned)
 * Management Factory Workers- As seen is some pictures there is a higher level of workers indicated by green clothes. You can give them weapons and there are weapon racks that means you can outfit them with Assault Rifles, Battle Rifles, Shotguns, etc.
 * Untitled White Factory Workers - Their rank is unknown as of yet; probably the highest rank.[[Image:Traxusb.jpg|thumb|A worker with an Assault Rifle]]

Trivia

 * Voi workers are only seen alive on The Storm.
 * Despite the fact they are civilians, factory workers are able to wield all weapons, both Human and Covenant, with the exception of Energy Swords and Brute Shots.
 * They only have three face types.
 * If you have a Sniper Rifle, you should be able to save the workers being attacked by Hunters by sniping the Fusion Coils.
 * All of the workers are Caucasian, which is strange because they work and live in Africa.
 * You can also save the worker being held captive by the Brutes by meleeing the Brute carrying him, and quickly killing the surrounding Brutes.
 * The workers are the first and only civilians seen in the Halo games.
 * Factory workers do not register the Gravity Hammer as a weapon. If you gave it to one via a glitch then push him, he will say things like: "What do you want? I don't have a weapon!".
 * If you give the Gravity Hammer to one of the workers, he will cease to move entirely. Curiously, if you push him down the ledge where the Longsword fighter was shot down, he will start to hover about 10 cm off of the ground. If you push him to the right place, he can be seen in the cutscene. He will disappear in Floodgate, though.
