Gargantua-class transport

The Gargantua-class transport was a class of enormous Forerunner vessel. Noted as resembling a fish in general shape, they were used by the Lifeworkers to transport their specimens during the Conservation Measure.

History
During the Flood's attack on the greater Ark, the Librarian ordered 343 Guilty Spark to use a Gargantua-class transport to transport organisms — both living specimens and reduced genetic composites — from the greater Ark to Omega Halo. After the Ur-Didact harvested Omega Halo's human population using the Composer, 343 Guilty Spark took the surviving humans aboard his Gargantua-class vessel to Installation 00, the lesser Ark; he also saved the IsoDidact from the destruction of Omega Halo. Upon arrival at the lesser Ark, Spark sent that ship to Erde-Tyrene at the Librarian's request. At Earth, the Librarian had the ship disassemble itself and, along with necessary components mined from the Earth, construct the Portal at Voi, a slipspace gateway to Installation 00. For protection, Spark sent two Aggressor Sentinels, one of which returned with Chant-to-Green while the other remained behind on Earth. The Sentinel that remained behind would form the basis for a platform in a Forerunner complex containing an imprint of the Librarian.
