Eden's Gate is a small prototype Forerunner starship intended for mass evacuations of worlds in the path of the Flood parasite, but was constructed too late to be of much help. This vessel is equipped with an experimental technology that would eventually be refined and used in Shield World 006, otherwise known as the installation Sarcophagus. The outer shell of this vessel consists of a small combat cryptum surrounded by a pair of contra-gravity rings. The rings provide extra stability to the main propulsion drive due to power from the cryptum being diverted to maintaining a small slipspace event at its center. This slipspace event, which appears to be only 200 cm in diameter, contains the vessel's inner shell. However, being composed almost entirely of folded space and compressed dimensionality, the inner shell is in fact over 2 AUs in diameter, and contains a massive installation called Eden.

The terrain within Eden resembles an inverted planet's surface, which curves upwards into the horizon until no longer visible. At the center of the installation is an artificial star which provides constant daylight, and can also be used as a power source for the vessel's primary weapon. By channelling high energy particles through a series of accelerator rings (each ring running along the outer surface of Eden) then opening a slipspace portal in the path of the oncoming particle stream, this ship can obliterate objects such as small moons, or even planets with horrifying ease. If that wasn't enough, Eden has several ''Forge Worlds'' in orbit around its artificial star. These planet sized foundries can manufacture swarms of sentinel drones within seconds. These range from the humble Constructor Sentinel to mighty Guardian Sentinel and beyond.

Controls: Also in Craft Instructions (Craft Instructions also lists on board weapons and countermeasures.)

Throttle: Overdrive

Pitch/Roll/Yaw: Lateral Drive

VTOL: Increase/Decrease Hover Altitude (Also works when submerged)

Trim: Adjust Vertical Autoaim

AG1: Boost Lateral Drive

AG2: Toggle Q-Pulse Missiles

Notes:

• In order to fire the Z-9000 Particle Cannon, you need to manually select the weapon, then hold the fire button until the weapon fires. The charging sequence is exactly 2 seconds, and has a small animation. After that, the weapon will release a beam of doom at the currently selected target. If there is no target and the weapon is selected, then the weapon will fire from the front of the ship.

• The Q-Pulse Missiles can switch targets mid flight, all you need to do is switch the current target after you fire, and before the missiles hit their mark.

• You can use overdrive and boost at the same time for a massive speed boost, in any direction.

• The Slipspace Event that holds the vessel's inner shell is modelled, although the dyson sphere interior is not. (it's actually an essential part of the turret for the particle cannon)
