The '''Tarantula Nebula''', known to the [[Forerunner]]s as the '''Spider''', is a region in the [[Path Kethona|Large Magellanic Cloud]], a satellite galaxy of the [[Milky Way]].<ref>[[Wikipedia:Tarantula Nebula|'''Wikipedia:''' ''Tarantula Nebula'']]</ref> It is a huge, filamentary nebula home to numerous stars that had only recently been born. The Forerunners believed that the [[Flood]] originated from the Tarantula Nebula.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silentium]]''', ''String 4''</ref> The Tarantula Nebula was home to a planetary system with four orbiting bodies, near the center of the nebula. Forerunners that helped massacre the [[Precursor]]s lived in exile on the system's innermost planet,<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 10''</ref> called [[Sedaaro]]. In [[1,100,000 BCE]], a Forerunner [[rate#Theoretical|Theoretical]] known as [[Boundless]] attempted to research a star in the Tarantula Nebula. Though she was soon forbidden from further researching this star by the [[Warrior-Servant|Warrior]] rate, she continued to do so until she was prosecuted.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 67-68''</ref> [[98,395 BCE|Years later]], the [[Librarian]] led an expedition to the Tarantula Nebula to study the origins of the Flood. During the expedition, she discovered the [[Sedaaro Forerunner|descendants of prehistoric Forerunners]] that chose to live in exile in the nebula.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 181-182''</ref>
