I can tell you right now it isn't G617 (seaward) seeing how the planet was clearly made. Seaward was a rural forerunner planet only know to the very very rich.
I've not read that before, I assume it's from Soma the Painter because it's certainly not in Cryptum.
Yes, it is from Soma.
If the planet is in the milky i highly doubt we are going to be able to guess it. But if MB is sending him to the forerunners and we are going with the idea they left the galaxy; We should check the magellanic clouds.
Doesn't the Encyclopedia state that they simply left the Orion Arm? I personally find that unlikely, but if so then we have two sources clashing.
Magellanic Clouds would make sense, the area around the Legendary Planet looks very similar to them.
EDIT: WTF, how did we simultaneously come up with exactly the same motivation to look up and post the exact same images? :P
Weren't the Flood from the Magellanic Clouds though? Why would the Forerunners run into where the Flood came from if they left the galaxy?
@grey
Why would leaving the galaxy be beyond Forerunner technology? It'd just be like any other trip for them, except they'd be leaving the Milky Way instead of traveling within it. It shouldn't take any special technology to leave the galaxy, all you need is a ship that's space worthy and something similar to cryo freezing to keep you alive until you settle.
It was never stated where the flood came from other than the IRIS nebula, which i should look up again. the humans guessed they came from the clouds but we can't be sure seeing how the prisoner knows of them.
Moving an entire empire from one galaxy to another takes alot of preperation much like moving to a whole other country.
You need a population, ships to keep the population on and for defense. You then need some way to feed all the people and ways to fix damages to a ship when they occur. You also need some means of finding planet that you can live on when you get to that other galaxy. There are just so many variables to consider, just look at battlestar galactica, stargate atlantis, mass effects quarins, etc.
