During the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], | During the [[Forerunner-Flood war]],the Forerunners extensively used a fleet of Keyships. A number of Keyships were given to the [[Librarian]], and combined with her ability to build [[slipspace portal]]s to the Ark, the Librarian was able to transport herself back to the Ark with her Keyships if the situation required. The Librarian, however, destroyed her Keyships to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Flood, who with them, would be able to instantaneously travel to the Ark, rendering the [[Halo Array]] useless. | ||
Near the end of the war, the Keyships were part of an unknown strategy to hold off the Flood for nearly 79 years,<ref>'''Halo 3''', ''[[Terminal/Halo 3|Terminal Five]]''</ref> although this advantage would be foiled by the massive computing power of the Flood. | Near the end of the war, the Keyships were part of an unknown strategy to hold off the Flood for nearly 79 years,<ref>'''Halo 3''', ''[[Terminal/Halo 3|Terminal Five]]''</ref> although this advantage would be foiled by the massive computing power of the Flood. | ||

Keyships were also an integral part of the Forerunners' [[Library Project]] to preserve sentient life. Before the firing of the Array, the Forerunners gathered DNA and living specimens of the notable sentient species located throughout the galaxy and protected them from the devastation of the Flood and all other life via Halo by transporting them to the Ark. After the seven ringworlds fired out their pulses, several Keyships, containing preserved specimens of each species, were sent to the planets from which the sentient species originated, and released a population of the species on their planet of origin. These ships therefore were not only a vessel of war, but also designed to reinstate life on the planets devastated by Halo.<ref>'''Halo Legends''', ''Origins''</ref> | Keyships were also an integral part of the Forerunners' [[Library Project]] to preserve sentient life.
