These materials were used in the construction of the [[Ecumene]]'s signature megastructures by breaking down planets and megastructures into their core components, before [[Reformation|reforming]] them into new constructions. Reformers take the form of a moon-sized world built around a reformation core, and base their production outputs on a [[design seed]] fed into them. Reformers have no modern-day equals.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=360}} | '''Orbital reformers''', or simply '''reformers''', are [[planet]]ary-scale megastructures built by the [[Miner]] [[rate]] of the [[Forerunners]].{{Ref/Site|URL=https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2969311_Catalog-Interaction.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint Forums|Page=Catalog Interaction|D=13|M=10|Y=2014|LocalArchive=Catalog/Archive/2014#Post #5}}{{Ref/Site|Id=Precipice|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/story-shard-precipice|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Story Shard: Precipice|D=23|M=5|Y=2023}}{{Ref/Novel|Precipice|Chapter=part 2}} used for the purpose of collating raw materials on a massive scale.
