 The exact methods used by the [[Forerunners]] to construct these artificial worlds is unknown. Presumably, large numbers of [[Constructors]] and [[Sentinels]] play a role in the construction process, laying down the initial structure. Over this is laid a vast network of scaffolding, over which the artificial environment is placed, including earth, rocks, and significant quantities of water.
