| '''Installation 06''', also known as '''Kappa Halo'''{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}}, is one of the [[seven]] rings that comprise the [[Halo Array]]. It is situated in the [[Perseus Arm]] of the [[Milky Way]] galaxy.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}}

| ==Background==
| | [[Image:1211311416 Installation 02.jpg|left|thumb|200px|The symbol representing Installation 06.]] |
| [[File:Installation06S.png|left|thumb|200px|The [[Forerunner symbols|symbol]] representing Installation 06.]] | | '''Installation 06''' is one of the seven [[Halo Array|Halo Rings]]. Very little is known about it and it has yet to be directly observed. |
| Along with five other rings, Installation 06 was constructed at [[Installation 00]], the second [[Ark]] installation. These Halos represented the second, more powerful array of rings in comparison to a previous series of twelve larger installations built at the [[greater Ark]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 329''</ref>

|
| ===Activation===
| | In [[2552]], during the [[Battle of Installation 05]], a signal was sent to this ring from [[Installation 05]], putting it on standby mode. A readout from Installation 05's [[Control Room]] showed that Installation 06 was fully prepared to fire on demand.<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', level [[The Great Journey (Level)]]</ref> |

|

|
| ===Deactivation===
| | A more comprehensive readout was later observed on the [[Ark]], showing the inner section of the ring to be covered in what appears to be barren rock during the [[Battle of the Ark]] by [[Arbiter (Character)|Thel 'Vadam]], [[SPARTAN-117]] and the [[High Prophet of Truth]]. It is possible that the surface is devoid of life like [[Earth]]'s moon, and the grayish surface texture appears to be cratered rock. It once again displayed that Installation 06 was on standby mode, waiting to receive the signal to fire.<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', level [[The Covenant (Level)]]</ref> However, SPARTAN-117 deactivated the Installation, and the others in the [[Halo Array]] before they could be fired. |

It once again displayed that Installation 06 was on standby mode, waiting to receive the signal to fire.<ref name="covenant">'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]''</ref> However, John-117 deactivated the Installation, and the others in the [[Halo Array]] before they could be fired. | |

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *The surface seems to be similar to a rocky or [[Luna|moon]]-like terrain.{{Ref/Reuse|covenant}} The ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'' however states that it "appears to be a ring world covered in dense forest or jungle, similar to portions of Installations 04 and 05" but that "no recordings of its surface indicate any major water sources, so how this environment maintains viability remains unknown."<ref name="Ency">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 177''</ref> This is further complicated by the Encyclopedia's basic description of the ring, which states that it has "tundra surface."{{Ref/Reuse|Ency}} | | *The surface could contain a type of jungle or forest terrain, but it also seems to be similar to a rocky or [[Luna|moon]]-like terrain.<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', level [[The Covenant (Level)]]</ref> |
| *Installation 06 was referred to as "Gamma Halo" in ''Halo 3'''s texture files.<ref name="source">[[:File:H3 halo inner ring title.PNG|Halo 3 Texture files: ''halo_inner_ring'']]</ref> However, ''Halo 4'' officially assigned the name Gamma Halo to [[Installation 03]].<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Composer (level)|Composer]]'', [[Audio log (Halo 4)|audio log]]</ref> It wasn't until the publishing of ''[[Halo: Warfleet]]'' the official designation of Installation 06 was revealed.
| | *The [[Halo Encyclopedia]] contradicts itself as to the environment of the installation, stating that it has a tundra surface, but also that it is completely covered in dense jungle or forest with no major water sources.<ref>[[Halo Encyclopedia]], page 177</ref> |
| | *The numbering of the rings concerning the [[IWHBYD]] ring sequence is the opposite to the rings' actual installation numbers and should not be confused in canon. |
