These Unnamed Forerunner Starships were docked at the Apex Installation, located on the Flood-Controlled Shield World.[1]
[edit] History
During the Human-Covenant War in 2531, the High Prophet of Regret and the Arbiter 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 Anders to activate it for them. The ships were destroyed when the artificial star inside the Shield World went Supernova.
[edit] Trivia
- Parts of these ships can be seen on the outer surface of the Shield World, suggesting that a battle may have occurred between the Forerunners and the Flood on the Shield World during the Forerunner-Flood War, resulting in the installation's infestation by the Flood.[2]
- These ships, when attached to their docking towers, have a slight resemblance to the Index.
- These ships have a slight resemblance to some large structures found on the Ark.[3]
- When the cutscene "Judgement Day" is highlighted in Halo Wars theatre, the ships are described as Forerunner Dreadnoughts. The only known remaining Forerunner Dreadnought or Keyship was inside High Charity and looked extremely different to these ships. Thus, the name "Dreadnought" may refer to a class of ships rather than a specific type, or else this was a canonical mistake. It may also be that "Dreadnought" is not an official designation at all and that the term is simply used to describe the massive scale of the ships.
- It is unknown how many ships the The Apex contained inside, it is believed there were dozens, maybe hundreds.
