Greetings Catalog, I have several queries pertaining the relevant technical details regarding the Forerunners themselves.



As a member of the former ecumene I'm hoping that you can assist in this capacity:



Query: What mechanism caused Epoloch to implode so violently during Requiem's fall into said native star?



Query: Prior to their conflict with the Flood the archived testimony of the IsoDidact recorded by a member of the Catalog rate informs us that the Forerunners expanded to three million worlds, but what was the population of the entire ecumene combined at her peak?



Query: During his report to the ecumene council, Contender-class Ancilla Mendicant Bias informs us that the fleet retained the capacity to force a premature stellar collapse; by what method was this achieved?



Query: The Catalog unit discovered on Shield World 006 designated as Forerunner remains #879 reveals that during their conflict with the Flood the Forerunners utilized a warship known as a Harrier, what other technical details can you reveal about this vessel class?



Query: During their incursion upon Shield World 0459, invading Covenant forces activated multiple Forerunner vessels docked within the interior for the purpose of annihilating the human population. What was the classification of these vessels?
