And another thing. Saying you like how the Forerunners had "worlds" instead of "colonies" is, ironically, illogical.

The Forerunners didn't just spring up on 3million worlds with near immeasurable technology from the get go. They had colonies before they had a galactic empire. Like humanity, they took small steps first off of one world and expanded their wings to become a galactic super power.

Saying you like one but not the other is a logical contradiction. In fact, I'd think you'd hate the Forerunners for having more colonies (which this ultimately comes down too) then both the Covenant and UNSC had ships combined.


it is the fact that they said "worlds" instead of anything else. I understand at one point they had to be colonies but over time they maxed them out to be considered "worlds" which would be like upgrading a territory to a state in a sense.

Naturally you will say that the forerunners had the time to do this, but i have seen in other sc-fi that even with hundreds of years- eons some planets are still called "colonies". which bugs the FK outta me.


So wait a minute...Your basing this argument on the context of a word...wow. So you mean to tell me that if the books and games had called them worlds instead of colonies you wouldn't have a problem with it?

How about this what if they had been called territories, protectorates, or mandates would we still be having this conversation about the context in which a word is being used?

Well one reason why I believe they would have large amounts of colonies is this.

Why have one planet with large population mixed in with agriculture when, as in the example of Harvest, you can have major population centers, such as Reach or Earth, and another planet that does all the agricultural growth to ship it to the other planets.

Planets such as Harvest aren't meant to have large populations, but to produce for the big population centers. This also doesn't have to apply to just agriculture, but to anything.

To add, most of the agriculture planets replaced manual labor with JOTUN machines. Why have 800,000,000 people on a planet to mine or farm, when you can have a million and a ton of machines to replace them? Then, you can spread that 800 mil. around on 800 colonies, and there you go.
