Unlike Installations [[Installation 04|04]] and [[Installation 05|05]], which orbit large gas giants, Installation 03 orbits a rocky planet, the face of which has been shattered as a result of a fairly recent impact event; the debris from the impact, still aglow as of [[2557]], has collected to form a dense [[asteroid]] field in orbit over the planet as well as Installation 03.<ref name="composer">'''Halo 4''', ''[[Composer (level)|Composer]]''</ref> | Unlike Installations [[Installation 04|04]] and [[Installation 05|05]], which orbit large gas giants, Installation 03 orbits a rocky planet, the face of which has been shattered as a result of a fairly recent impact event; the debris from the impact, still aglow as of [[2557]], has collected to form a dense [[asteroid]] field in orbit over the planet as well as Installation 03.<ref name="composer">'''Halo 4''', ''[[Composer (level)|Composer]]''</ref> | ||

As with the other seven Halo rings, Installation 03 was fired at the conclusion of the Forerunners' war with the Flood, killing all sentient life within its effective radius. Afterwards, it entered an inactive state along with the rest of the Array. | As with the other seven Halo rings, Installation 03 was fired at the conclusion of the Forerunners' [[Forerunner-Flood war|war with the Flood]], killing all sentient life within its effective radius.
