Although Installation 03 was originally anchored in orbit around a gas giant for the firing of the Array, by the time of its discovery by humanity in the twenty-sixth century, it orbited a rocky planet, the face of which had 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 the Halo.<ref name="composer">'''Halo 4''', ''[[Composer (level)|Composer]]''</ref> | Although Installation 03 was originally anchored in orbit around a gas giant for the firing of the Array,<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 237''</ref> by the time of its discovery by humanity in the twenty-sixth century, it orbited a rocky planet, the face of which had 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 the Halo.<ref name="composer">'''Halo 4''', ''[[Composer (level)|Composer]]''</ref> | ||
