Halo Lore Question
Did the Forerunners ever leave The Milky Way? If the could travel across the galaxy itself, traveling to other galaxies is not far fetched.

It's implied that they went to track down the dormant Precursors, as the IsoDidact mentions them in Halo 3's Terminals, saying "we can follow in Their footsteps". We know they're still alive in some form as of 2559, as Chakas has discovered the location of Chant to Green (who he thinks is the Librarian because she passed her title of Lifeshaper down before stranding herself on Earth). On a number of occasions in their 10 million year history, the Forerunners have travelled outside of the Milky Way. The ancient Warrior-Servants who fought the Precursors left the Milky Way to pursue their enemy to Path Kethona with hundreds of thousands of ships, this is discovered by the Librarian and the crew of the Audacity who likewise leave the galaxy to go to Path Kethona towards the end of the Forerunner-Flood war. Both the Greater and Lesser Arks were constructed outside of the Milky Way.

6 RepliesAfter the Iso-Didact (Bornstellar eternal lasting) detonated the halo array, he led the final forerunners out of the galaxy (he was already as he detonated the halos from the ark) and went off on "The great journey" although it's ever elaborated on whether this is to another galaxy to make home, or merely into intergalactic space to withdraw. It's also possible he retreated to the greater ark, the one that built the 30,000km halo arrays, which is also outside the galaxy.

Yes. The Librarian and a small group of Forerunners left the galaxy to travel to Path Kethona. An orbiting dwarf Galaxy we called the [url=http://haysvillelibrary.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/large-magellanic-cloud-complete-with-annotations-eso.jpg]Large Magellanic Cloud.[/url] Specifically they visited the [url=http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0811/tarantula_brimacombe_big.jpg]Tarantula Nebula[/url], which is inside the Large Magellanic Cloud.

A small group including the Librarian left to try to find out where the precursors came from.

2 RepliesEdited by ~wolfBTM~: 11/29/2013 10:58:14 PMNo they couldn't have... The forerunners were a tier 1 civilization.. They could create life and worlds.. The only group to achieve tier 0 were the precursors... The civilization before the forerunners... They could accelerate the development and evolution of life and even travel between galaxies... The forerunners liked their logistics so they most likely wouldn't have been able to, and even if they did they would have recorded it... The distance between 2 galaxies is much further than the distance across one galaxy... It is unlikely that the forerunners achieved a type 0 civilization, or even came close.. I hope this helps.. :) Edit: [quote]I admit I was wrong as I was didn't know that much about the topic... My argument was that the ark is still in orbit of the Milky Way, and therefore still technically in the galaxy... But it does not matter because the tiers do not specify intergalactic travel.. It specifies "transsentience" as the final tier... The forerunners did have the slip space capabilities of intergalactic travel...[/quote]

3 RepliesYes. They went to the LMC twice (One group settled there in a rather odd way) and both Arks were built outside the Galaxy.

Didn't the Librarian leave the Milky Way in Silentium?
