- "Um... I'm a mechanic, not a soldier."
- —Voi Factory Worker when given a heavy gun by the Chief
- "I was just saving 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, Vicente, 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".
[edit] Description
They appear to be employees of the Traxus Factory Complex 09. They most likely do not have as much weapons training as the Marines, so their combat effectiveness is inferior. You can, however, outfit them with better weapons. Large numbers make up for their lesser of weapons training. During the Battle of Voi they helped John-117, the Arbiter, and the surviving Marines to destroy the Covenant presence. However, the Flood attacked, turning most, if not all, of the workers into Combat Forms. These combat forms were all killed when the Elites glassed the area.
[edit] Classifications
- Regular 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.
- Management Workers- As seen is some pictures lying around, there is a higher status of workers indicated by green clothes. You can arm them with weapons such as the Assault Rifles, Battle Rifles, Shotguns, etc.
- Untitled Workers- Their title is unknown as of yet, probably the highest title or "status", being that they wear white clothing. The are mostly seen dead along with other workers. Possibly, they are weapons designers or scientists. If so, they would be among the highest priority targets for the Covenant in the area, which may explain why so many are dead.
[edit] Trivia
- Despite the fact they are civilians, factory workers are able to wield all weapons, both Human and Covenant, with the exception of Energy Swords, Brute Shots and Gravity Hammers.
- Most of the workers are Caucasian-American, which is strange because they work and presumably live in Africa. The same is true of most Marines, and mainly Crow's Nest, which they reside in.
- Occasionally one of the workers will yell out "I'm a cowardly fool!". This line was also said by crew members in the Halo: CE levels Pillar Of Autumn and Halo.
- It is strange that workers were still alive with the heavy Brute presence. Given the above quote, it's possible several hid until UNSC reinforcements arrived.
- When you first encounter the Factory Workers in the room barricaded with sandbags and machine guns, you will see a few wounded Workers as well as several dead Workers.
- You can actually give a worker a Gravity Hammer, but they will not use it.
