The Halo effect purged the galaxy of all sentient life, eliminating the threat of the Flood as it was deprived of available biomass and its collective consciousness. All Precursor artifacts and structures, composed of abstract [[neural physics]] construction, were likewise destroyed. These included the [[Domain]], a metaphysical repository of knowledge treasured by the Forerunners as the source of all their cultural heritage and ancestral wisdom.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 322-323''</ref> | The Halo effect purged the galaxy of all sentient life, eliminating the threat of the Flood as it was deprived of available biomass and its collective consciousness.

Despite the Lifeworkers' best efforts, the firing of the Halos resulted in mass extinction events on countless worlds across the galaxy; most prominently those the Forerunners had never had the time or resources to index. On many planets, Lifeworkers had to prioritize which species to save; for example, it was estimated that only one-thousandth of [[Earth]]'s large species would survive.{{Ref/Reuse|s27}} Around four years before the firing of the Halos, 123 technologically capable species had been indexed; however, a number of these were doomed to perish due to the Lifeworkers' limited resources,<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 18''</ref> combined with the devastation of the preserves on the [[greater Ark]] and [[Omega Halo]].
