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, arranged in sets of four and numbering in the millions in total, were placed in strategic locations, particularly along the most efficient and well-known slipspace pathways, forming an enormous spherical territory surrounding the Orion complex.

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/Reuse|blood1}} | 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]].
