Summary

Concept art of Forerunner ruins, art by Eddie Smith. From The Art of Halo.

Fair use rationale

It is believed that the use of this image, qualifies as fair use in the article Factions of Halo because:

• Bungie has not released any such images into the public domain, nor could a replacement image be created that would adequately provide the same information
• The image resolution has been heavily decreased, so copies made from it would be of inferior quality
• The use of this image neither detracts from the game nor inhibits its salability in any way
• The image is being used for informative purposes only, as it serves to illustrate the conception of a game element, and is being commented on
