The Forerunner Dreadnought is a geometric and angular warship, sharing many aesthetic features with other Forerunner constructs. Generally, it has a tetrahedral shape, with a forward, triangular prow, and, attached to it at equidistant points, are three similarly shaped struts to help ground the ship. Visually, its hull is grey or silver in color, and is estimated to be about 14 kilometers (8.699 miles) tall, <ref>[[Image:ForerunnerShip-scale.gif|50px]]</ref> 37,654 tons in weight, far heavier than leisure craft, but outweighed by a variety of transport and military vessels<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', [[Terminals|Terminal Six]]</ref>. The Dreadnoughts were an integral part of the [[Forerunner-Flood War]], and were used as warships in confrontations such as the [[Battle of the Maginot Sphere]], and were also used to travel through [[Portal|Portals]] to the [[Ark]]. Although their weapons systems were unknown, one Dreadnought was found and used by the [[San 'Shyuum]] during the [[Sangheili-San 'Shyuum War]], and was far superior to [[Sangheili]] vessels of the time. During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the same Dreadnought was resistant to even the heaviest of [[UNSC]] ship borne armaments, specifically the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] systems. The Forerunner Dreadnought has been known to carry over 1,000 beings,<ref>Halo: Contact Harvest page 262</ref> which is believed to be only a fraction of its full carrying capacity.
