Subject: Who were the "sentients"?

I am referring to the the crashed ship and it's occupants in the halo anniversary terminals of Silent Cartographer, Assault on the Control Room, and 343 Guilty Spark.

I am curious as to who they were and why no one went looking for them after they did not return from where ever they came from.

The distress signal did get out past the ring before Spark blocked it. Maybe their home world, OR a larger ship if it was a mere shuttle, was too far away.... but that doesn't sound right.

Anyone have any ideas?

No one has any idea who the aliens in the ship were. All we know about them is that they found Installation 04, crashed, and died.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

Whoever it was, they're apparently at war with the Forerunners.

Is it possible that since no race had developed space travel AS OF YET, that it was just some derelict ship that was in space at the time of the halo array that with 3000+ some years of drift and no crew, just bodies, with their suits preserving their bodies.

OF course it had to have been of a species that was capable of space travel at the time of the halo array, this narrows it down

Don't be too sure. They could have gone into Cryo.

Perhaps in Halo4 we might find out.

Didn't 04 kind of...explode?

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

i thought it was flood. didn't we have to go inside the building 343 and the sentinels that built over the crash site to contain it?

No... That was a containment facility, not a ship...

There were still significant chunks of the installation remaining. Perhaps the ship's coffin (now that sounds epic) is on one of those pieces?

Also, off topic, but maybe Blood Gulch is on one of those chunks too?
