Host (disambiguation)for other, similarly-named pages.
The Heavenly Host, or the Host, were service robots working for Max Capricorn Starcruisers. They were fashioned to look like angels. Their purpose was to provide information and other assistance to crew and passengers. However, the Heavenly Host lacked autonomy and would do anything their master authority ordered, including criminal acts such as murder.
History
Under the command of Max Capricorn himself, the machines turned deadly. They killed many of the passengers and crew of the Starship Titanic in 2008 as part of Capricorn's scheme to destroy his own ship and then retire a wealthy man.
The Host had a monotone voice and their speech pattern had a sentence start with the word "information", thens answering a query.
Protocol One allowed the person who executed it to ask three questions, which would temporarily override whatever other command the Hosts were executing until the three questions were answered.
When given the command to commit murder, they would repeat the word "kill" numerous times.
Each Host used a single Halo, which was mounted on struts protruding out of their heads, as weapons, which they threw at enemies, causing great harm due to the halo's edges being razor-sharp, and if deflected, they would return back to the Host, which would be able to catch and throw it again and again.
They were capable of flight, which their wings would unfold to do.
An individual Host had the strength of ten average men.
Some of the Host were destroyed by an electromagnetic pulse set off by Bannakaffalatta, who used the last of his cyborg body's energy at the cost of his own life.
After Max Capricorn was killed by Astrid Peth, the Host reverted to the next highest authority figure, the Tenth Doctor, helping the Doctor reach the bridge of the ship to save it. (TV: Voyage of the Damned)
