Members of each of the races of the Local Group.
The Sentinels were a coalition of races that were conquered by the Robotech Masters' Tirolian empire that fought against the Invid invaders when the Masters left Tirol in search of the Protoculture Matrix.
History[]
After the collapse of their Empire, the Masters abandoned Tirol and left their conquered planets vulnerable to attack at the hands of the Regent. These planets banded together to fight off the Invid and with the help of the SDF-3 managed to free their worlds. In gratitude, the Sentinels decided to repay their debt to the Robotech Expeditionary Force by providing their help.
They first encountered the REF when the Farrago arrived at Tirol. The Sentinels met with the REF's Diplomatic Council. They claimed that the vessel was their prison but they escaped from the clutches of the Regent. (Robotech II: The Sentinels: Pursued) The REF agreed to help them, and 1,000 volunteers from the expedition were transferred to the Farrago, including both Admiral Hunters. In order to maintain chain of command, all ensigns were promoted to Lieutenant.
Among the races of the Sentinels included the technologically advanced Haydonites and industrialized Karbarrans. Other members included the Garudans, Praxians, Spherisians and Perytonians.
Their first major operation was the Liberation of Karbarra.
After the liberation of Tirol, and the beginning of the REF Civil War, they provided their assistance to the REF: the SDF-3, partially destroyed, was completely rebuilt with the Karbarra's assistance, and the Haydonites helped develop the Shadow Technology and Neutron-S missile. However, it would be revealed that all Haydonite weapon was a trojan horse, as they intended to destroy any race than used Protoculture.(Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles)
The name came from the Zentraedi term for Watchmen who say "this place I protect with my life. Meddle here and one of us will die." (Robotech II: The Sentinels: Pursued)
