Assembly Forges (Earth-5875)

The Assembly Forges were a series of manufacturing facilities of the Covenant located at their capital, the holy city of High Charity. They were the main suppliers of materials of the Covenant through its existence, producing war machines in the form of ships and vehicles through clouds of nanomachines, which were fed instructions by design patterns maintained by artisan-armorers. The Forge's design is susceptible to design pattern mutations and transcription errors, a consequence of them being a reverse-engineered technology rom that of the forerunners.

The products of the Assembly Forges ranged from warships, to weapons and vehicles. While a separate entity, the Sacred Promissory performed similar functions. After the Fall of High Charity and the Great Schism, the facilities were all destroyed with the fall and destruction of the holy city, forcing the splinter factions of the Covenant, such as the Swords of Sanghelios to resort to other, independent assembly forges.
