'''Arks''' are massive [[Forerunner]] installations designed with the primary purpose of manufacturing [[Halo Array|Halo rings]]. Situated [[Intergalactic space|outside]] the [[Milky Way|Milky Way galaxy]], they also served as [[Lifeworker]] research facilities, as well as conservational preserves for the numerous species of the galaxy during the [[Conservation Measure]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''' ''page 274''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Primordium''' ''page 372-373''</ref> The Arks were shaped like massive flowers, consisting of several curved arms, similar to the petals of a flower, surrounding a circular foundry in the center.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''' ''page 371''</ref> | |||
Two Arks existed during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]; the [[greater Ark]], which produced Halos 30,000 kilometers in diameter, and [[Installation 00]] or the lesser Ark, which produced rings 10,000 kilometers in diameter.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''' ''page 343'' (''"...one of the two Arks that had created them in the first place."'')</ref><ref>'''Halo: Primordium''' ''page 375'' (''"...neither of the Arks were manufacturing Halos..."'')</ref> | |||
