Halo is one of seven giant space stations built by [[The Forerunner]]. It has been orbiting the gas giant, [[Threshold]], for 101,217 local years. It is first and foremost a weapon, intended to destroy the parasitic Flood threat by wiping out all possible hosts, i.e. all intelligent life in its range. While that range is approximately 25,000 light years, the activation is thought to trigger the other six Halo stations, extending the range to the whole Milky Way. Ironically, the Flood is apparently still alive | Halo is one of seven giant space stations built by [[The Forerunner]]. It has been orbiting the gas giant, [[Threshold]], for 101,217 local years.

Ironically, the Flood is apparently still alive on this and other [[Forerunner]] facilities throughout the galaxy. Aside from the Flood the only other sentient being "alive" on Installation 04 is its [[Monitor]], [[343 Guilty Spark]]. | ||
