The ''Anodyne Spirit'' was a [[keyship]], a special class of vessel used by the [[Librarian]] and the [[Lifeworker]]s to index and catalog life in the galaxy and transport it to [[Installation 00]] as part of the [[Conservation Measure]]. The keyships were some of the only vessels capable of activating [[Slipspace portal|portals]] to the Ark.<ref name="universe"/> The ''Anodyne Spirit'' was designed by naval architects [[Grasping-Steady-Firmament]] and [[Lightning-Weaving-Helix]] and manufactured by the [[Ingens Assembler Vats]]. Unlike most Forerunner ships, the form of the keyship was fixed, allowing it greater structural integrity at the cost of flexibility. During the final days of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the ''Spirit''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s crew would range deep into Flood-controlled territory to locate untouched worlds and index a cross-section of their biodiversity before it could be consumed.<ref name="Warfleet"/> | |||
After the activation of the Array, several keyships automatically were sent out into the galaxy, containing numerous specimens of various alien races, to ensure that life would go on. One of these vessels, ''Anodyne Spirit'', re-seeded life to the [[San'Shyuum]] homeworld [[Janjur Qom]]. As the ''Anodyne Spirit'' departed for Janjur Qom, a fragment of [[Mendicant Bias]] escaped onto the keyship. After the keyship arrived at the planet and re-seeded the San'Shyuum, Mendicant Bias attempted to take control of the vessel and travel to [[Earth]] to make amends for the crimes it committed against the [[Forerunner]]s during the Forerunner-Flood war by aiding [[human]]ity. However, an unknown complication occurred and the ''Anodyne Spirit'' crashed onto the surface of Janjur Qom,<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/mendicant-bias '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Mendicant Bias'']</ref><ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 27'' (2011 edition)</ref> its impact forming an immense sea later known as the [[Great Apothtea]].<ref name="universe"/> After the [[Human-Covenant War]], ancient [[Covenant]] records which may contain information on this matter were researched jointly by human and [[Sangheili]] scholars on [[Sanghelios]].<ref name="catalog">[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2969317_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post2969317 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Catalog Interaction'' (page 14)]</ref> | After the activation of the Array, several keyships automatically were sent out into the galaxy, containing numerous specimens of various alien races, to ensure that life would go on.
