'''Keyship''' is a classification of [[Slipstream space|superluminal]] [[Forerunner]] vessel in use at the time of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].

The [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], as it was known by the [[Covenant]], was a Keyship, although it is not to be confused with the Forerunners' [[Unidentified Forerunner dreadnought class|dreadnought]] warship class. | The [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], as it was known by the [[Covenant]], was a Keyship, although it is not to be confused with the Forerunners' [[Unidentified Forerunner dreadnought class|dreadnought]] warship class. | ||

During the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the Forerunners extensively used a fleet of Keyships. A number of Keyships were given to the [[Librarian]], and combined with her ability to build [[slipspace portal]]s to the Ark, the Librarian was able to transport herself back to the Ark with her Keyships if the situation required. The Librarian, however, destroyed her Keyships to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Flood, who with them, would be able to instantaneously travel to the Ark, rendering the [[Halo Array]] useless. | During the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the Forerunners extensively used a fleet of Keyships.
