Real Name: Sentry 213, 459, or 9168
Occupation: Sentry
Legal Status: None
Identity: The existence of the Sentry robots is not known to the general population of Earth
Place of Manufacture: Kree Throneworld
Base of Operations: Mobile
Past Group Affiliations: Agent of the Kree Empire, agent of the SuperAdaptoid
Known Powers:
Body Armor: A Sentry’s body is made of material that protects it against all melee and beam attacks at Amazing intensity.
Invulnerabilities: As robots, the Sentries are immune to any psionic or mental attacks, as well as toxins or diseases.
Growth: Various models of Sentry robots were created at different size specifications, depending upon the technological advances and purposes of the Kree at the time the robots were built. Sentry 213 had Excellent Growth. Sentry 459 had Poor Growth. Sentry 9168 was built at human-size.
Communications: A sentry can transmit and receive data from the Kree. This communication has Class 5000 range, but is restricted to lightspeed, so most communications are long-term affairs.
Energy Beam: Some sentry robots are built with energy weapons. Sentry 459’s eyes could project an Amazing intensity energy beam to a distance of 10 areas. Sentry 9168 could fire a beam of Unearthly intensity, but to a range of only 5 areas.
Self-healing: The Sentry robots can repair themselves if not reduced to 0 Health.
Talents:
None.
Contacts:
None.
Role-Playing Notes:
The Sentry robots are sophisticated, capable of analyzing complex situations and responding in appropriate ways. Their programming does not allow them to disregard or “bend” Kree orders, however. Sentries are known for their patience and singlemindedness.
History:
A Sentry is a humanoid robot built by the extraterrestrial Kree to stand guard over its various military outposts and depots through out the Kree Empire and strategic points beyond. The Kree scientist Bronnek developed the prototype Sentry in the Kree Year 1220 (approximately 80,000 years ago) and the Supreme Council of the Kree Empire immediately began mass-producing it for military purposes. There have been hundreds of thousands of Sentries manufactured, but only 5,000 are in use today. The first Sentry that was posted in Earth’s star system was Sentry 213, a 30-foot model, left upon a tiny supply depot/unmanned surveillance post on the surface of the planet Uranus. When an exiled group of the highly evolved offshoot of humanity called the Eternals destroyed the Sentry and raided the outpost, the Kree empire sent an armada to investigate, since until that time they had believed the solar system to be devoid of native intelligent, spacefaring life. The Kree armada found the small band of Eternals trying to head Earthward in a makeshift spacecraft, engaged them in battle, and irreparably damaged their vessel. The survivors sought refuge on Saturn’s moon Titan where they eventually created a highly technological civilization.
The second Sentry posted in our solar system was Sentry 459, a 15 foot model, who accompanied a Kree scientific party to Earth to investigate its highest lifeform about 25,000 years ago. Learning that the human race was capable of spawning such superhumanly advanced beings as the Eternals, the Kree decided to perform their own experiments. The result was the genetically advanced tribe who would one day be called the Inhumans. When the scientific party left Earth, Sentry 459 was programmed to keep the Inhumans under surveillance, monitoring their progress towards civilization. The Kree hoped to someday use the Inhumans as a specially powered militia for their conquests. Soon after the early Inhuman geneticist Randac discovered the mutagenic Terrigen Mist and subjected himself to its gene-altering properties, Sentry 459 activated itself and contacted his charges for the first time. Following his report, he went back to his place of hiding and remained there for millenia until some time in the mid-Twentieth Century. Archeologist Daniel Damian discovered the Sentry’s subterranean outpost on a small island in the South Pacific. Activated by the intruders, the Sentry executed his surveillance programming to make another report to his long-silent alien masters. One of its surveillance devices attracted the attention of the Fantastic Four, who were vacationing in the area, and the Sentry soon initiated battle with them. The Fantastic Four managed to battle the automaton to a standstill, free the archeologist and his assistant, and escape. This defeat of the Sentry brought to Earth the Kree’s foremost administrator, Ronan the Accuser.
Sentry 459 deactivated itself and was later taken into custody by the U.S. Army and brought to Cape Canaveral. There it was reactivated by Colonel Yon-Rogg, who was the commander of a Kree reconnaissance mission to Earth, and ordered it to rampage. Yon-Rogg hoped that his subordinate Captain Mar-Vell would be killed in battle with the Sentry, but Mar-Vell managed to overpower the automaton. The Sentry was later reactivated by Ronan and used in an aborted scheme to reverse the course of evolution on Earth. When Ronan abandoned the Sentry, it remained inert at Earth’s North Pole until some time later when Kree agents Mac-Ronn and Tara retrieved it, and erased its previous programming and memories. Before they could escape with it, however, their ship was intercepted by SHIELD missiles, and they were forced to jettison the Sentry. It landed near Mexico City and again went on a rampage until Mar-VeIl quelled it. Sentry 459 was destroyed by Ronan on his third trip to Earth.
A third Sentry, Sentry 9168, a 6 foot model, was stationed on island in the Pacific during a routine Kree patrol about two millennia ago. This Sentry was activated by the Kree Supreme Council in recent times to use a “stimulator” gun to awaken a hibernating shapeless living creature of an unknown kind which the Kree had placed on the Moon to devour any Earth astronauts who might happen upon the remains of the Kree’s hidden city in the Blue Area of the Moon. The Fantastic Four defeated Sentry 9168 and used a remote destruct mechanism to destroy the organism.
