The Line installations, | The Maginot Line, or Jat-Krula as it was known to the Forerunners, was constructed over half a million years before the firing of the [[Halo Array]] as the ultimate defense for the inner systems of the [[ecumene]]. The Line installations, numbering in the millions, were placed in strategic locations, particularly along the most efficient and well-known slipspace pathways, forming an enormous sphere surrounding the Orion complex. Any incoming enemy ship or [[Forerunner fleet|fleet]] would have to pass through the perimeter,<ref name="sil104"/> where it would be targeted and destroyed in [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] by the Line installations in range.<ref name="wreckage">'''Halo 4''', multiplayer map ''Wreckage''</ref> These installations are usually located on a planetary body, such as a [[natural satellite]]. | ||
As part of the Forerunners' efforts to contain and understand the [[Flood]], some Line installations were refitted to serve as [[Flood research facility|Flood research facilities]]. These installations employ machines known as [[Gatherer]]s, specialized for collecting specimens for analysis. Each Line installation also has its own [[monitor]] and a control center, as well as a sizable force of [[Sentinel Aggressor|Sentinels]].<ref name="blood1">'''Halo: Blood Line''' ''[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 1|Issue 1]]''</ref> | |||
