In Response To: Re: Halo Wars canonical issues *SP* (Louis Wu)


: There's a simpler problem: What were they doing there? We know the array was
: fired in the past - so the combat forms were destroyed, right? So where
: did all these new ones come from? What were they eating?

: (The combat forms that aren't abstract look awfully Elite-like... if Elites
: were killed here, how did a full-scale outbreak not occur?)

: Another problem, not mentioned in your initial post: the Forerunner ships the
: Covenant found. Where did they come from? The Halo 3 terminals made it
: pretty clear that every last resource was used in that final battle... if
: there was a huge collection of ships in storage here... why weren't they
: used then?

: The Halo Wars story stands reasonably well on its own... but fitting it into
: the existing Halo canon might be a little rough.

Depending on how specific you're being, the Terminals tell us that the Forerunner were remote-destroying all their keyships. That is specifically referring to the ships of the same design as the Covenant Dreadnought. Those are "keys" used to activate in-ground portals. Those Forerunner ships in Halo Wars can be 'technically' exempt. 'Every last resource' could also be like taking all your money to the stoire to buy something, but you didn't bother fishing through the couch for each penny and nickel. A few ships on a remote world may not have mattered to them. What's still a mystery is how the keyship that ended up in High Charity had survived remote detonation all those millennia ago.
