The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included. |
- A gigantic structure situated outside of any known star system, the Ark was
- constructed by the Forerunners with two guiding principles. First, to fabricate,
- repair and transport all components of the ringworld installations known
- collectively as Halo, a weapon designed to wipe out all sentient life in the galaxy
- in a desperate attempt to stop the unstoppable parasitic Flood threat.
- Secondly, it needed to be able to provide a safe and stable habitat for a vast
- number of life forms collected from across the galaxy.
- These two paradigms led to the unique, flower-like design, with immense arms
- splayed around a central foundry. Where the production of the Halo installations
- occurs. The Ark's surface was covered by vast, world-sized paddocks called
- Refugia, divided by massive walls and containment barriers to preserve the life
- forms collected by The Librarian, to be reseeded after the Flood had been
- starved out.
