'''Extinction''' is a term regarding the disappearance, or dying out, of an entire species. Extinctions are a natural phenomenon that have occurred throughout the history of many worlds, often brought on by cataclysmic events. The greatest mass extinction in the [[Milky Way]] galaxy resulted from the [[Great Purification]] at the end of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], in which the activation of the [[Halo Array]] wiped out all [[sentient]] life within three radii of the galactic center. Various plants and [[animals]] have also gone extinct as a result of being unable to adapt to changing environments on their home planets. During the [[dark time]]s, a number of species that were reintroduced into their homeworlds by the Forerunners became extinct. Many other belligerent species in the [[Orion Arm]] region have been brought close to the brink of extinction as a result of [[War]], oftentimes when their civilizations enter an [[Technological Achievement Tiers|atomic age]] and employ the use of nuclear weaponry.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''[[Bestiarum]]''</ref> | '''Extinction''' is a term regarding the disappearance, or dying out, of an entire species.
