The Milky Way's Sagittarius Arm was explored by the [[Forerunner]]s thousands of years ago and at least one [[shield world]], designated [[Shield World 10021|10021]], was constructed under the direction of [[Warrior-Servant]]s in a distal star system of this arm.{{Ref/Reuse|HW1213}} Prior to the [[Great Purification|firing]] of the [[Halo Array]] in [[97,445 BCE]], the [[Halo ring|rings]] known as [[Installation 01]] and [[Installation 07]] were transported from the [[Intergalactic space|extragalactic]] [[Installation 00]] to points in the Sagittarius Arm.<ref name="HW1213">''[[Halo Warfleet]]'', ''pages 12-13''</ref> Installation 01 was placed at the Array's Beta position distal to the offshoot of the Orion Spur and Installation 07 was placed at the Zeta position, proximal to Orion.{{Ref/Reuse|HW1213}} It was from these locations that Beta Halo and Zeta Halo killed every unprotected life form with even the most rudimentary of [[Wikipedia:Nervous system|nervous system]]s within twenty-five thousand [[Wikipedia:Light-Year|light-year]]s of each.<ref name="ENC184">''[[Halo Encyclopedia | The Milky Way's Sagittarius Arm was explored by the [[Forerunner]]s thousands of years ago and at least one [[shield world]], designated [[Shield World 10021|10021]], was constructed under the direction of [[Warrior-Servant]]s in a distal star system of this arm.{{Ref/Reuse|HW1213}} Prior to the [[Great Purification|firing]] of the [[Halo Array]] in [[97,445 BCE]], the [[Halo ring|rings]] known as [[Installation 01]] and [[Installation 07]] were transported from the [[Intergalactic space|extragalactic]] [[Installation 00]] to points in the Sagittarius Arm.<ref name="HW1213">''[[Halo Warfleet]]'', ''pages 12-13''</ref> Installation 01 was placed at the Array's Beta position distal to the offshoot of the Orion Spur and Installation 07 was placed at the Zeta position, proximal to Orion.{{Ref/Reuse|HW1213}} It was from these locations that Beta Halo and Zeta Halo killed every unprotected life form with even the most rudimentary of [[Wikipedia:Nervous system|nervous system]]s within twenty-five thousand [[Wikipedia:Light-Year|light-year]]s of each.<ref name="ENC184">''[[Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe]]'', ''page 184''</ref><ref name="HCETB">''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', ''[[Two Betrayals]]''</ref> | ||
Following a large [[2543]] [[Battle of Psi Serpentis|battle]] in the [[Psi Serpentis system]] between [[UNSC]] [[Battle Group India]] and two [[Covenant]] fleets, scattered reports of independent [[human]] forces fighting the Covenant began to pop up on the outer edge of what the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] believed to be nonsanctioned human [[Human colonies|colonized]] space.{{Ref/Reuse|HEPJC}} These reports tracked toward the Sagittarius side of the Orion Spur.<ref name="HEPJC">''[[Halo: Evolutions]]'', ''[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.
