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 they are devoted and born to serve like the ood but main difference is ood 99% only do good unless trained or if they have "red eye"and turn evil like in the TV:satan pit & TV:impossible planet.
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 speech pattern involved starting a sentence with the word "information", then 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 perform murder, they would repeat the word "kill" numerous times, most likely until their target was dead.
The Host used the Halos on their heads as weapons, which they threw at enemies. They were capable of flight. Some of the Hosts 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)
