Tarantula Nebula

The Tarantula Nebula, known to the Forerunners as the Spider, is a region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. It is a huge, filamentary nebula home to numerous stars that had only recently been born. The Forerunners believed that the Flood originated from the Tarantula Nebula. Forerunners that helped massacre the Precursors lived in exile on a four planet-star system's innermost planet, near the center of the nebula. In 1,100,000 BCE, a Forerunner Theoretical known as Boundless attempted to research a star in the Tarantula Nebula. Though she was soon forbidden from further researching this star by the Warrior rate, she continued to do so until she was prosecuted.
