The ship had no name, and Bornstellar lamented that it never received one before its destruction.{{Ref/Reuse|C198}} | ||

The ship was not "built" in the traditional sense, but rather "grown" from a piece of technology known as a design seed. The seed contained all the schematics and plans required to construct the ship, as well as the ship's [[slipspace flake]], a piece of a [[Slipspace core|much larger crystal]] used by the Forerunners in their slipspace drives. | The ship was not "built" in the traditional sense, but rather "grown" from a piece of technology known as a design seed.

Most of the raw materials for the hull of the ship were apparently drawn from the central peak of Djamonkin Crater. The mountain was first dismantled and turned into several pillars arranged in a circle with an elevated platform in the center.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=88-89}}{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=94}} As the Didact, Bornstellar, Chakas and Riser stepped onto the central platform, the pillars began to spin rapidly, reconfiguring to form the hull of the ship.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=96-98}}{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=97|Quote=The circling pillars sprouted bulkheads, beams, and stanchions - all the necessary parts. The skeleton of a slipspace voyager was growing around us, almost too rapidly to track - until the pillars were walled in, the sky and the swirling ships vanished, and we were completely enclosed.}} | Most of the raw materials for the hull of the ship were apparently drawn from the central peak of Djamonkin Crater.

The vessel was highly advanced, even by Forerunner standards, as the Librarian had been updating its design as technology progressed.{{Ref/Reuse|c98}} It changed its overall configuration depending on the need; in space, the ship was an ovoid over 800 meters long.{{Ref/Novel|Id=c124|Cry|Page=124-128}} When entering a planetary atmosphere, it took on a more aerodynamic shape, bowing out at the sides and growing massive landing pads as well as [[fluxor shield]]s to protect against the blowback from atmospheric entry.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=111}} | The vessel was highly advanced, even by Forerunner standards, as the Librarian had been updating its design as technology progressed.{{Ref/Reuse|c98}} It changed its overall configuration depending on the need; in space, the ship was an ovoid over 800 meters long.{{Ref/Novel|Id=c124|Cry|Page=124-128}} When entering a planetary atmosphere, it took on a more aerodynamic shape, bowing out at the sides and growing massive landing pads as well as [[fluxor shield]]s to protect against the blowback from atmospheric entry.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=111}} |
