The '''Crown''' was the topmost fragment of the [[Forerunner]] Capital, [[Maethrillian]]. 

==Overview==
The Crown, along with the other sections of the artificial world, could be locked together in the event of a crisis to form a near-spherical shape. Like the other portions, it also possessed [[energy shielding]] capabilities. The Crown was primarily used for storage. In particular, it housed a wealth of unspent slipstream crystals. 

==History==
Several years prior to the [[Great Purification]] in [[97,445 BCE]], the rouge [[Contender-class artificial intelligence|Contender-class]] [[ancilla]], [[05-032 Mendicant Bias]], launched an [[Fate of Maethrillian|attack]] on Maethrillian. In the ensuing battle, the Crown was cracked in two. All operating technology within eventually then ceased to function. Centuries later, a group of Forerunners that survived the [[Halo Array]]'s firing [[Mission to Maethrillian|returned]] to the Capital with the intention of doing what they could to heal the [[Domain]]. Before venturing into the [[Mysterium]], three of these Forerunners first explored the Crown in order to secure any [[slipspace flake|slipstream crystal]]s they could find there. [[Bornstellar-Makes-Eternal-Lasting]], [[Glory-of-a-Far-Dawn]], and [[Finder-of-Things-Hidden]] located a cache of enough slipspace flakes to fuel 10,000 ships for 100,000 years. Of these, they only took a few dozen, however.<ref>''[[Halo: Fractures]]'', ''[[Promises to Keep]]''</ref>
