| Due to the dangers of reconciliation imposed by the Flood presence in the Burns, travel within them was prohibited by [[Ecumene]] authorities, with only warships permitted to enter them. Of note were the {{Class|Sojourner|dreadnought}}s, who were deployed into Burns as part of trident spires and tasked with performing hit-and-run strikes on Flood-dominated planets. The [[second-order fast frigate]]s were also permitted to enter them due to their ability to navigate slipspace.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=382-383}} The [[Warrior-Servant]]s continued to operate facilities inside Burns, and used them as training compounds for their troops. One [[Coliseum|such example]] was recreated by the [[United Nations Space Command]] for their own [[War Games]] testing.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFRhine|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-rhine-installation|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Rhine Installation|D=26|M=11|Y=2020}}{{Ref/Map|Id=Coliseum|H5G|Coliseum}}

| In [[2558]], [[Catalog]] reported that Forerunner fleet command had designated the Boomerang Nebula as a burn, additionally recording that the nebula had been the site of [[star road]]s during the war with the Flood.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/query-catalog-old/7fbf60e8-92f7-4826-ac2a-ab1b5e4e3603/posts?page=5|Site=Halo Waypoint Forums|Page=Query: Catalog(old)|D=29|M=12|Y=2019|LocalArchive=Catalog/Archive/2014#Query: Catalog(old)}}
