| ===Positioning of Installation 07===
| | The system was discovered as Installation 07's location by renowned [[human]] scientist and historian Doctor [[Luther Mann]] after a year of sifting through data he'd discovered during his stay at the [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] [[Sarcophagus|Research Facility Trevelyan]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HitD1|HITD|Chapter=1}} There was a research outpost on the Halo established by March [[2555]],{{Ref/Reuse|Id=HitD1}} which was protected by at least two {{Class|Halberd|destroyer}}s.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=HPoL8}} |
| Following orders by the [[IsoDidact]], Installation 07 was sent to an unknown system, where, according to [[Chakas]], the ring "became a sacred tomb for millions, though some may still live."{{Ref/Novel|Id=HPC42|Pri|Chapter=42}} Later on, Installation 07 received its final activation preparations,{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS36|Sil|Chapter=String 36}} and finally fired after the other six Halo rings in [[97,445 BCE]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS38|Sil|Chapter=String 38}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P350|Enc22|Page=350}} However, following the array's firing and the process of [[Reintroduction|reintroducing]] life to the galaxy had begun, an uncatalogued species known as the [[Xalanyn]] were discovered to have survived the pulse.{{Ref/Game|Id=af3|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Archaeological Findings 2|Banished Audio log|Detail=Archaeological Findings #03 - Xalanyn}} At the behest of the remaining [[Forerunner]] council, the installation was moved to the Ephsu system so that it would be in close proximity to the Xalanyn's homeworld.{{Ref/Game|Id=af4|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Archaeological Findings 2|PartText=Banished Audio log|Detail=Archaeological Findings #04 - A Curious Directive}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CFStrike|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-ship-strike|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Ship Strike|D=22|M=04|Y=2023}} After a parley between the two species, the Xalanyn were imprisoned on Installation 07,{{Ref/Quest|Hi|Endless (chapter)|ChapterLinkText=Endless|Silent Auditorium}} which remained in orbit over [[Ephsu I]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFStrike}}{{Ref/Reuse|HPoL8}}

| ===Discovery by humanity===
| | During the [[Created conflict]] in [[2559]], the system was likely the site of a major [[Battle for Installation 07|battle]]. The [[Banished]], led by [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]], invaded the Halo. A battle both in space and on the installation took place, with the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] suffering major losses, leaving the installation occupied by the Banished, and badly damaged.{{Ref/Game|HI|trailer|Detail=[[Halo Infinite Campaign Gameplay Premiere|Campaign Gameplay Premiere]]|Id=Premiere}} |

| There was a research outpost on the Halo established by [[2555#March|March 2555]],{{Ref/Reuse|HitD1}} and by [[2558#August|August 2558]] was protected by at least two {{Class|Halberd|light destroyer}}s.{{Ref/Reuse|HPoL8}}
