Keyships are geometric and angular, sharing many aesthetic features with other Forerunner constructs. Generally, they have a tetrahedral shape, with a forward triangular prow, and attached to it at equidistant points are three similarly shaped struts, to help ground the ship. Visually, their hulls are gray or silver in color. Keyships are estimated to be about 14 kilometers (8.699 miles) tall<ref>[[:File:ForerunnerShip-scale.gif]]</ref> and | Keyships are geometric and angular, sharing many aesthetic features with other Forerunner constructs.

Although their weapons systems are unknown, one Keyship was found and used by the [[San'Shyuum]] during the [[San'Shyuum-Sangheili War]], and was far superior to [[Sangheili]] vessels of the time. At the time of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the same Keyship's shielding was completely impervious to even the heaviest of [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] shipborne armaments, specifically the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] systems. A Keyship has been known to carry over 1,000 beings,<ref name="Harvest262">'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 262''</ref> which is believed to be only a fraction of its full carrying capacity. They were capable of remote detonation to prevent their usage by the [[Flood]]. | Although their weapons systems are unknown, one Keyship was found and used by the [[San'Shyuum]] during the [[San'Shyuum-Sangheili War]], and was far superior to [[Sangheili]] vessels of the time.
