I think shield worlds have the capability to do something like this. They teleported the Halos around the galaxy in the Forerunner trilogy, whilst i don't think it's been done I guess it's possible
Some Shield Worlds are encased in Slipspace bubbles but they never teleported Halos around to my knowledge. That was the Ark.
Didn't the the Forerunner AI teleport the Halos around after the Primordial turned him to his side?
Dunno, but I'm guessing the AI activated an external device to do it. I don't think an AI would internally have the capability to open a Slipspace portal of that size.
Grunts are mostly hunched forward a bit and not standing straight up in the games. Making them look shorter than they really are
A loaded fuel rod is 23.3 kg so to totter around with it like they do they're probably quite strong.

Grunts = halo version of duke nukem? Nipples everywhere all I remember of forever anyway.
Halo Wars had a pretty badass design all round for the Covenant.
-- What the ... I had never seen this before!
-- High Charity is the largest object to have its own slipspace drive that we've seen (or have a firm datapoint on). The Halos were sent via vast locked-point portals that appeared to be the primary "highways" of the Forerunners.
Forerunner drives required a small crystal flake from a core that the Builders controlled -- and (IMO) implied that it was a Precursor artifact that the Forerunners could not replicate. Expended chips were used as a decorative element in the capital.
I need to re-read the trilogy.
Let's just say that I try to avoid the website waypoint as much as I can
Did those crystals ever wear out after use? I would assume not.
Precursors claim to predate the universe, thus being older than 14 billion years. It's mentioned they could possibly be 100 billion years old, whatever that would mean if they predate this space-time. More than likely they originate from a previous or alternate universe, but that's my assumption.
Also should note that Precursors are transsentient beings and don't even really have a physical form. Their current form is the Flood.
I know this. I know Xeelee, Downstreamers, The Culture, Time Lords, etc. are sick in power compared to the Haloverse. I was thinking of more well known universes like SW or ST and even Mass Effect. On top of that, it is possible that Precursors are on Xeelee type levels but we don't know enough about them yet except they are immensely powerful.
Like I said, the universe forming is just my own wacky theory and nothing more.
Yeah and that's just the Forerunners. The Precursors are more on the levels mentioned with the more power house beings like Xeelee and the like. But again, there's certain things we don't know about the Precursors, like if they could even time travel. Forerunners did have limited time travel capabilities so I would assume Precursors had some idea about it. Really hoping we get a little more info on them. I'd love to see what a Precursor and Star Roads look like.
-- They did wear out. Although how or at what rate is never said.
-- That doesn't appear to be entirely accurate. The Flood are a particular degenerate form originating from Precursors, but they were "Flood" before the surviving Precursor reached out and saw their potential to sow misery.
Right, just meant to say Flood are the degenerate form of the Precursors. I just meant they they're not two separate beings exactly. I don't even think the Flood can use Precursor technology until they reach the Key Mind stage. That's when they start warping reality with their presence and become very, very scary.
It has to be a different race:
-- He was following protocol. Whether he could actually implement any effective anti-spacecraft response may have exceeded his available resources. I don't recall any of the Halos having that capability aside from mass deployment of sentinels.
That's speculation but. I don't think it ever really got explained. It is pretty silly considering the Covenant and the unknown species had already landed/crashed with no oppression.
With the Halo general community thread locked until E3, people are finding ways around it. Since general lore discussion was kinda OT for the Halo 4 thread we have this.
Even the community OTs rarely saw this much lore discussion, but perhaps that's because those threads had a handful of vocal people who would shit on lore talk whenever it would arise, lol.
