Does anyone else think that this ship looks almost Forerunner in origin? I'm not suggesting that it is infact a Forerunner ship, but that human technology by the year 2589 has advanced to reverse-engineering of Forerunner technology.--File:PENGUIN4.gif|15px]]''[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-family:Verdana">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana">Penguin</span>]]<sup><small>([[User talk:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:gray">ice quack!</span>]])''</small></sup> 17:42, 7 November 2010 (EST)

:Or maybe the Covenant has given us (humanity) some of their Forerunner technology in order to repopulate the worlds they glassed during the War. --[[User talk:KaragouniS|KaragouniS]] 19:13, 7 November 2010 (EST)

Well maybe it is a Forerunner ship.I mean all of the forerunner technology that was discovered was destroyed.Plus there are a bunch of Forerunner artifacts under Reach.Plus the covenant technology didin't look like a tenth of the forerunner technology.Plus, I listened to the legendary commentary and they did say it was a colony ship but they didn't say it was UNSC so in my opinion, it is a Forerunner ship with Forerunners in it.[[User talk:Jamesgg521|Jamesgg521]] 17:24, 24 November 2010 (EST)

:You can argue that it ''looks'' Forerunner, but really, humanity seems top have developed a similar fetish for blocky angles and slants in the 26th century. At times, I thought some of the architecture and geometry in New Alexandria looked very Forerunner. So without any followup material or explanations from Bungie/343i, there seems to be little real evidence that its Forerunner. Forerunner ''inspired'', though, is a different matter - as you said, there's all those relics under Reach, and humanity must spend some time post-war reverse-engineering the portal and other Covenant/Forerunner tech. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 18:32, 24 November 2010 (EST)

Yes, but what is the proof of it being human in the first place! Thats what Im saying and dont say it said so in the legendary commentary because I watched the ending three times to make sure and they just say colony ship, not human ship in any way.[[User talk:Jamesgg521|Jamesgg521]] 19:50, 8 December 2010 (EST)

:It ''is'' a UNSC ship. Even if it was co-designed by covenant using forerunner tech, it is still utilized by the UNSC and therefore is a UNSC ship. There's no way it could be forerunner and not be mentioned as being such. If they added a forerunner cameo in Reach that would detract from the whole storyline of the game--[[User:Ender the Xenocide|<font color="Green">Ender the Xenocide]]</font> 20:03, 8 December 2010 (EST)

Can someone please show some proof saying that it is Human, Covenant, Sangheili or forerunner before saying it is or it isn't [[User talk:Alertfiend|Alertfiend]] 21:42, 28 January 2011 (EST)

:The Covenant use ships that are dominated by Sangheili and Prophet aesthetics, hybridised into the "Covenant" style. Elite ships would still bear resemblance to those of the Covenant, even if they could build them. And while the Kig-Yar did have ships, they were essentially intra-system craft - no slipspace or FTL systems, limiting them to their own space. Hence why they were so willing to work with [[The Rubble|humans]] in exchange for slipspace drives. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 02:45, 8 March 2011 (EST)

:Why are you guys still arguing? The Covenant's ships were inspired by the Sangheili's architecture, and only the San 'Shyuum know how to build the ships as per their role as scientists (hell, just modifying a weapon without the concent of the Hierarchs is treasonous) - therefore, no other member of the Covenant is well-versed in ship designing, with the only exception being the Kig-yar, who don't utilise vessels like that. The Forerunners have been dead for a hundred thousand years, and always show a more artistic approach to architecture - everything ''has'' to be symmetrical and angular (triangles are very common). The only remaining conclusion is that it is human-based. While you ''could'' argue that it is a Sangheili-crewed ship, it is nonetheless of human design.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 11:37, 29 April 2011 (EDT)

::Agreed. Why would a Covie or Forerunner ship "return" to a re-terraformed Reach? If you read Glasslands then you'll find out Humans [will] acquire Foreunner tech inside the dyson sphere. So the beginning of Forerunner designs will begin. It's Human built, Human crewed. Nuff said. --[[User talk:Killamint|Killamint]] 11:07, 20 May 2012 (EDT)

Holy just stop posting I and no one else really cares one last point BEFORE the Sangheili joined the Covenant they had ships of there own and we dont know what it looks like now stop posting please [[User talk:Alertfiend|Alertfiend]] 01:54, 4 May 2011 (EDT)


We obviously agree it looks Forerunner, but do you think that Bungie had planed for humanity to start revers engiering Forerunner tech as stated in glasslands or do you think it's just a coincidence the ship looks so forerunner-y?

:Yes, I read Glasslands and the UNSC traveled to the dyson sphere that was brought into real space by the Huragok. From there they were going to acquire forerunner tech, particularly a FTL drive for the UNSC Infinity. So yes, that was Bungie's intention but that will be continued with 343i in Halo 4. As for the Unidentifed colony ship, I don't think that will be the last time we see it given the continuation of Halo with the reclaimer trilogy. --[[User talk:Killamint|Killamint]] 10:57, 20 May 2012 (EDT)
