Manufactured by [[Summus Assembler Vats]], the ''Sojourner''-class dreadnoughts were the last in a line of first-order warships stretching to the Forerunner's earliest interstellar expansion, and were the pinnacle of Forerunner naval technologu: impossibly fast, heavily armed and highly efficient. The ''Sojourners''' were introduced shortly before containment efforts [[Forerunner-Flood war|against]] the [[Flood]] began.<ref name="origins"/> Millions of ''Sojourners'' were raised up and thrown up against the Flood, leading strikes deep into Flood-dominated [[Burn]]s, rughtlessly cauterizing the slightest hint of infection. Despite their efforts, only a few remained intact to the end of the war. 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 [[Ellen Anders|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 {{UNSCship|Spirit of Fire}} used their ship's [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|Slipspace drive]] as an improvised bomb.
