Legacy
- Main article: Reintroduction
After the Great Purification of 97,445 BCE, Keyships played a role in the Reintroduction of species to their homeworld.[3] One Keyship, the Anodyne Spirit, was hijacked by Mendicant Bias and would end up crash landing on the San'Shyuum homeworld of Janjur Qom.[4] This ship would be later seen as a religious artifact[5] to the species and would later become part of the Covenant's holy city of High Charity[6] along with a Fortress-class vessel from Tuluk'katho.[7]
Numerous other Forerunner ships ended up being buried, like one under the Babd Catha Ice Shelf on Reach[8] or one buried on Installation 05.[9]
