A high concentration of [[Forerunner]] artifacts exists on Meridian; their presence is known to the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]].<ref>'''[[Data Drop]]''', '' | A high concentration of [[Forerunner]] artifacts exists on Meridian; their presence is known to the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]].<ref>'''[[Data Drop]]''', ''[[:File:DD - 93893-PRELIM.pdf|93893-PRELIM]]''</ref> Beneath Meridian's surface, there were at least two vast Forerunner structures built into natural cave formations, though both structures were possibly connected. One structure contained a [[Luminary]] that had the location of the [[Halo Array]], which was collected by the Covenant during their attack on the world in 2551.{{Ref/Reuse|h2a}} The second one was home to a Forerunner [[Guardian]], as well as numerous host bodies of the [[Warden Eternal]].{{Ref/Reuse|unconfirmed}} Beneath [[Brume-sur-Mer]] was another Forerunner artifact. though its purpose is unclear.{{Ref/Reuse|BB}}{{Ref/Reuse|MD}} | ||
