-'''The Age of Discovery''' is a time period in [[Covenant]] history. It is believed that during this Age, the [[Prophet]]s (possibly with the help of the [[Engineers]]) discovered the remains of [[Forerunner]] [[technology]], probably giving birth to the Covenant religion with its central theme that the activation of the [[Halo Array]] would begin [[the Great Journey]] for the Covenant, leading them to salvation. What they did not know is that activating a Halo causes destruction of all sentient life in the Galaxy.
