By the 26th century, space stations had come to fill a broad range of roles as starship construction and docking facilities, heavily-armed defensive outposts, [[UNSC fleet|fleet]] support, even as colony habitats, in addition to their original primary role as science facilities. | ||

==Forerunner space stations== | |||
The [[Forerunner]]s constructed their most notable space installations on a planetary scale, and many of them are more aptly described as [[astroengineering|megastructures]] than space stations. The [[Halo Array|Halo rings]], the [[Ark]]s, the [[shield world]]s and the [[Capital]] are examples of such installations. Nonetheless, there are some which fall within the more conventional definition of a space station. | The [[Forerunner]]s constructed their most notable space installations on a planetary scale, and many of them are more aptly described as [[astroengineering|megastructures]] than space stations.
