The Halo Array was constructed by and controlled from Installation 00, also known as the Ark, located outside the milky-way, contained the equipment to restore life in the galaxy and to fire all the Halo Array at once. They where built by the Forerunners to kill the flood by killing it's food, and all intelligent life forms in the galaxy, thereby starving the parasite to death. It was fired around 100,000 years ago, and succeeded in its task, but a few flood were kept in stasis on a few of the Halos, so they could be studied. These Flood were accidentally revived by the covenant on installation 04. Installation 05 had an isolated outbreak, which resulted in the formation of a Gravemind.

  • The Halo Array, Halos, alternatively known as the Sacred Rings by the Covenant, Fortress Worlds by their creators, Installations by the A.I. Monitors that run them, and the Great Wheels by prehistoric humans, are seven (originally there were twelve) massive ring-shaped installations constructed by the Forerunners throughout the galaxy over one hundred thousand years ago as a last resort when combating the parasite known as the Flood. When nothing else could be done, they activated the rings which killed all sentient life forms within three radii of the galactic center. Not only are they weapons of last resort, but the Halo installations are also research facilities, mainly for the study of the Flood.
