| ===First Age of Abandonment===
| |
| *The first period of [[History of the Covenant|Covenant history]]; This age refers to the time from [[2200 BCE]], which marked the start of the [[Stoic-Reformist conflict]], and [[2100 BCE]], when the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] left [[Janjur Qom]].{{Ref/Book|[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]|Page=30}} The next known Age after this was the [[Age of Conflict|First Age of Conflict]].{{Ref/Novel|Halo: The Broken Circle|Chapter=Prologue}}

| ==List of appearances==
| | One of the leading theories is that the Age of Abandonment was the time when the [[Forerunner]]s left the activated Halo, or, as the [[Covenant]] put it, "Embarked on the [[Great Journey]]". The Covenant believe that the Forerunners underwent the [[Great Journey]], but in fact they disappeared because they activated the seven [[Halos]] in order to contain the [[Flood]], thereby killing themselves and all sentient life in the galaxy. This event happened about 100,000 years before [[2552]], before other races had evolved enough to become sentient. |
