Sentry Robots

The Sentry Robots are an army of robots that serve as the security forces aboard the USS Cygnus. Silent and obedient, they carry out Dr. Reinhardt's orders without question.

Background
Designed as security forces, the Sentry Robots guard the Cygnus. When the crew tried to commit mutiny, Reinhardt had the sentry robots capture the crew and be turned into Humanoids.

After the crew of the Palomino came aboard, four Sentry robots went aboard to investigate and detained Charlie Pizer. They took him to the command tower where his crew already were.

They also spend time in a room where they practice their laser shooting. The prototype and captain of the Sentry Robots S.T.A.R. was the sharpest shooter on the ship, however he was defeated V.I.N.CENT.

Two Sentry Robots caught V.I.N.CENT and B.O.B. nosing around in the hospital and were however destroyed. Their peices were soon found and Reinhardt gave the order to destroy the Palonimo Crew. Fortunately when the Cygnus was destroyed by the meteor shower near the black hole, many Sentry Robots were either shot by the Palomino group or floated away.

Trivia

 * The appearance of the Sentry Robots seem to share the resemblance to Star Wars' Stormtroopers armor and their heads share a fair similarity to Darth Vader's helmet. Another similarity to Stormtroopers is that the Sentries are fodder and they can barely hit anything - sans B.O.B..
