This deals with the Voi portal to the Ark. When Shadow of Intent and the Cruisers arrive at the Ark, they emerge from what a slipspace portal from an internal engine. However, they traveled there through the portal at Voi, the portal being above the Ark. Wouldn’t they emerge on the other end of the Voi portal rather than small portals? Also, when we see the front section of the Forward Unto Dawnreturn to Earth, we see it re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. However, the portal isn’t in orbit of Earth, but above the city of Voi and in atmosphere. Just a little nitpicky thing for me in Halo 3, what’d you think?

It could be that the Voi Portal treated each carrier going through it as an individual transportation and not a lump sum. So each ship was sent through but each traveled in a separate slip-space “stream” and so they all arrived at the ark from the ends of each stream? I have no idea how slip-space works lore-wise but that is my theory. It is strange of the Voi Portal doesn’t have an equivalent big blue portal sphere at the Ark however…
Also the Voi portal might work like the method used to place the later 7 Halo’s around the galaxy. They all entered the same big blue portal sphere at the lesser Ark but all emerged at their locations as though they had used an “internal” slip-space engine (at least in Halo legends depiction of the placement) Halo Origins Halos being moved - at 9:22 it shows this.
