==Background== | |||
The purpose of Installation 04, along with its sister installations, was to prevent the parasitic lifeforms known as the [[Flood]] from consuming the Galaxy's sentient life. In the event of a Flood galactic outbreak, the seven installations could be triggered, annihilating all sentient life from the galaxy and preventing the Flood from dominating the galaxy. | |||
Installation 04 was controlled by a Forerunner-designed artificial intelligence, a [[Monitor]], known as [[343 Guilty Spark]]. | |||

Installation 04 was built by the Forerunners approximately at 98,665 BC (It was 101,217 years old in [[2552]] AD). It is unclear why the gas giant Threshold was specifically chosen to be the planet whiched Installation 04 orbited, but it is supposed that the large number of Forerunner machines already operational in Threshold (namely the network of [[Gas Mine]]s), may have played a role in their decision. | Installation 04 was built by the Forerunners approximately at 98,665 BC (It was 101,217 years old in [[2552]] AD).
