Rather than being a superweapon, like the Halo's, the Ark functions as both a control center for the entire array and as a construction facility for Halo's, using the planetoid to provide metals, gases, elements and other resources needed for reconstruction. After the construction is complete, the Halo is transported to the site or its predecessor via a slipspace portal.
