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 hexagonal 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]
