Keyships
The Keyship is a classification of supra-luminal Forerunner naval vessel in use at the time of the Forerunner-Flood war.
Mentioned in the hidden Terminals found on the Ark and Installation 08, Keyships were a class of Forerunner vessel capable of activating portals leading to the Ark. They were capable of remote detonation to prevent their usage by the Flood. Though many more once existed, the majority were destroyed by the Librarian to prevent the Flood from reaching the Ark.
Near the end of the war, the Keyships were part of an unknown strategy to hold off the Flood for nearly 79 years, although this advantage would be foiled by the massive computing power of the Flood. At the Battle of the Maginot Sphere, Ur-Didact was in command of multiple Keyships, although near the end, when the Forerunners began generating Slipspace ruptures to destabilize the battlefield and destroy Flood craft, Keyships were recklessly piloted near the rifts, destroying them.
They are one of the most powerful and versatile forerunner ships.
Sojourner Dreadnoughts
These warships were common during the Forerunner-Flood war, used widely in combat operations, with a length of 9,430 meters and a mass of 50 billion metric tons, they served as exploration and shock ships.
its main function is to serve as a ship carrier, carrying two Dragoons on each side for deployment in battle.

Fortress-class vessel
Fortress-class warships were some of the largest and most powerful vessels in the Forerunner navy. From bow to stern the ships were approximately 50 kilometers long and were 10 kilometers across at the widest point. A single fortress ship can carry thousands of support craft.
The hull is divided into three sections: the foremost section of the ship is a massive hemispherical structure 10 kilometers in diameter. The dome's hollow core serves as living space for hundreds of thousands of Forerunner Warrior-Servants. Below the dome is a midsection composed of layered platforms supporting landing bays and weapon mounts. The aft section of the ship is a long "tail" covered in gun emplacements and other forms of energy weaponry. At the time of the Forerunner-Flood war, these ships were up to 100 km in length with far more destructive capabilities, a battle group of these were capable of destroying at least one of the original 12 Halo Installations.
with major modifications, they can be adapted for mass transportation of personnel, turning it into a station with a complete ecosystem, similar to halo or shield worlds.
