Sojourner-class dreadnought
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Sojourner-class dreadnought[1] was a type of capital warship used by the Forerunner fleet.[2][3]
Overview
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.[3]
History
The Sojourner-class dreadnoughts were a mainstay capital ship in the Forerunners' fleets during the Forerunner-Flood war.[3] 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 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.

- 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.[4]
- These ships bear a resemblance to a type of horizontal Forerunner structure found on Installation 00.[5]
