==~~Overview~~==

==Specifications==

''Sojourner''~~-class~~ dreadnoughts ~~are large [[Forerunner]] vessels capable of~~ arranging themselves into a octagonal formation, ~~from which they can combine their weapons into a single blade-like beam~~ capable of splitting other vessels in half. ~~Planetside docking towers, such as those at the [[Etran Harborage]]'s [[Apex Site]],~~ can detach from the ~~ground~~ and act as components of the ships themselves when hovering above the surface of a planet.<ref name="origins"/>

===Superstructure and hull===

Two ''Sojourner'' dreadnoughts and the docking battle station form combat tridents, independent squadrons that could be deployed on any solar system. During the war against the Flood, the Forerunners made a new combat formation: ten ''Sojourner'' dreadnoughts arranging themselves into a octagonal formation and a battle station arranged into deadly decimation lattices, capable of splitting other vessels in half. The dreadnoughts can detach from the battle station and act as components of the ships themselves when hovering above the surface of a planet.<ref name="origins"/>

''Sojourner'' dreadnoughts are equipped with long-range scanning [[Auspex array]] systems, which peer through Slipspace to look for approaching ships, mapping local star systems by probing vast distance in realspace, or detecting suttle changed in planetary or ships atmospheres.

===Crew and complement===

The ''Sojourner''-class dreadnoughts are crewed by 15 Navarch, which oversee naval or combat operations. The Navarchs are led by the ship's Princeps. The crew is protected by 200 heavily armored [[Warrior-Servant]] Scutarii. The dreadnought also carry 5,000 [[War sphinx]]-clad Venatores who can direct the ship's millions of autonomous {{Class|Despair|fighter}}s on long-range strikes.

===Armament===

The primary weapon of the ''Sojourner'' it's a capital-scale torsion driver, a gravitic emmiter that can be used as a delicate grasping tool or as a crude scalpel, pushing and pulling portions of the enemy ships beyong their shielding and structural supports with discondant harmonies, ripping them appart and exponsing vulnerable systems to concentrate fire of the dreadnought's other weapons.

The ''Sojourner'' dreadnoughts are also armed with 28 converging beam cannons, which shoot tendrils of energy capable of tracking enemy vessels. The dreadnoughts also has 300 light mass fussilade cannons, and [[antimatter]] streams.

==History==

The ''Sojourner''-class dreadnoughts were a ~~mainstay [[capital ship]] in~~ the ~~Forerunners~~' ~~fleets during~~ the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].<ref name="origins"/> Some ''Sojourner'' dreadnoughts were docked at the Apex Site on Shield World 0459.

The ''Sojourner''-class dreadnoughts were the last in a line of first-order warships stretching to the Forerunner's earliest interstellar expansion, and were the pinnacle of Forerunner naval technologu: impossibly fast, heavily armed and highly efficient. The ''Sojourners''' were introduced shortly before containment efforts [[Forerunner-Flood war|against]] the [[Flood]] began.<ref name="origins"/> Millions of ''Sojourners''' were raised up and thrown up against the Flood, leading strikes deep into Flood-dominated [[Burn]]s, rughtlessly cauterizing the slightest hint of infection. Despite their efforts, only a few remained intact to the end of the war. Some ''Sojourner'' dreadnoughts were docked at the Apex Site on Shield World 0459.

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. However, a [[Reclaimer]] was required to release the locking mechanisms holding the ships in place. Thus, they abducted [[Ellen Anders|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 {{UNSCship|Spirit of Fire}} used their ship's [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|Slipspace drive]] as an improvised bomb.
