(I've suggested that the article be renamed. The Halo Wars theater menu explicitly identifies these ships as dreadnoughts. The Keyship on High Charity was only known as the Dreadnought by the Covenant.) |

Template:Rename Template:Ship Class Infobox
These unidentified starships are warships that were used by the Forerunner Navy. They are designated as dreadnoughts, though they should not be confused with the Forerunner Keyships.[1][2]
Complement
The planetside docking towers for these ships can detach from the ground and hover above the surface of a planet. In space combat, the ships are capable of arranging themselves into a octagonal formation, from which thay can combine their weapons into a single blade-like beam. This beam can split other vessels in half.[2]
History
These warships were common during the Forerunner-Flood War, when they were used widely in combat.[2] Among numerous docking facilities around Forerunner-controlled space, some of these ships were docked at the Apex Installation on a Flood-controlled Shield World.
During the Human-Covenant War in 2531, the High Prophet of Regret and Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee went to the Apex to gather a massive and powerful invasion fleet for the Covenant Navy. In order to release the locking mechanisms holding the ships in place, they needed a Reclaimer. Thus, they abducted Professor Ellen Anders to activate it for them. The ships were destroyed when the artificial star inside the Shield World went supernova after the crew of the Template:UNSCship used their ship's Slipspace drive as an improvised bomb.
Trivia
- Parts of these ships were strewn about the outer surface of the Shield World. These derelicts are probably from a battle between the Forerunners and the Flood that resulted in the installation's infestation.[3]
- These ships have an obvious resemblance to some large structures found on Installation 00.[4]
