The '''Activation Index''', often simply referred to as the '''Index''' and known as the '''Sacred Icon''' by the [[Covenant]], is an object found in every [[Halo Array|Halo installation]]'s [[Library]]. The Activation Index is the key needed to operate the installation's most critical systems, the most notable of which is its main weapon, an energy pulse that will kill all [[Sentience|sentient]] life within the ring's effective range. Its secondary purpose is to simultaneously initiate the [[Conservation Measure]], the repopulation process of the worlds sterilized by the Halo's pulse.<ref name="library">'''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''' - ''[[Library (feature)|Library]]'', ''"Activation Index"''</ref> An Index cannot be used to activate any Halo besides the one to which it is assigned.<ref name="h3h">'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]''</ref> | The '''Activation Index''', often simply referred to as the '''Index''' and known as the '''Sacred Icon''' by the [[Covenant]], is an object found in every [[Halo Array|Halo installation]]'s [[Library]].
