During the course of the war, the Forerunner fleet attempted to prevent the Flood from landing on the surface of various planets, and when the Flood invariably did, the Forerunner Navy's main concern was to evacuate as many civilians as possible. | ||
As the Forerunners realized that they had no chance of militarily winning the war, and as the Flood closed in on the [[Maginot Line|Maginot Sphere]], they created a master AI, Mendicant Bias, to coordinate all of their strategic movements and grapple with the [[Gravemind]] itself. Mendicant Bias was given a personal fleet of a thousand core capital ships. However, direct contact with the Gravemind caused Mendicant Bias to turn [[Rampancy|rampant]], and it quickly turned on its creators. | As the Forerunners realized that they had no chance of militarily winning the war, and as the Flood closed in on the [[Maginot Line|Maginot Sphere]], they created a master AI, Mendicant Bias, to coordinate all of their strategic movements and grapple with the [[Gravemind]] itself.
