Editing Star-hopping

{{Era|Forerunner}}

'''Star-hopping''' was a strategy formulated by the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]] during the course of the [[Human-Forerunner War]]. Using strategically placed [[shield world]]s, the [[Forerunner fleet|fleets]] of the [[Warrior-Servant]]s would be able to wage campaigns of destruction against strategically vital worlds to the [[Prehistoric human civilization|human empire]], and ignore everything else. The plan eventually reduced the [[human]]s to their capital of [[Charum Hakkor]]. When the [[Forerunner]]s learned about the [[Flood]], the Didact proposed star-hopping to the [[Ecumene Council]] as a means to counter the parasite, but the [[Master Builder]] [[Faber]], leading the radical [[Builder]] faction, proposed the creation of a super-weapon that would eventually become the [[Halo Array]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''Chapter 34, pg. 273''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''Chapter 19, pg. 187-188''</ref>

==Trivia== 
The Didact's "star-hopping" plan is very similar to the "[[Wikipedia:Leapfrogging (strategy)|island-hopping plan]]" that American naval forces in the Pacific in [[World War II]] made, right down to its name. American forces would attack important Japanese-held islands and ignore less important ones, using the conquered islands to stage bombing runs on the next island and forcing those to capitulate.
