Humanity had been forced to deploy the majority of their military against the Flood, sparing comparatively little to fight the Forerunners. By the time the Flood had been defeated, the human military was exhausted. Even their capital at Charum Hakkor was cut off from the rest of the empire by the Didact's [[Forerunner Navy|naval fleets]]. On Charum Hakkor, humanity incorporated Precursor technology into their own designs, constructing formidable fortifications capable of standing up to even the strongest fleets. Among them were [[unbending filament]]s that linked their orbital platforms' defenses. Despite having the combined Forerunner military at his disposal, it took great effort from the Didact to defeat the human resistance and capture the capital. Among the Forerunner casualties were all the Didact's children.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 138''</ref> | Humanity had been forced to deploy the majority of their military against the Flood, sparing comparatively little to fight the Forerunners.

Once humanity was defeated, the tragedies of the war convinced the Didact and his fellow [[Promethean]]s that using the [[Halo Array]], like the destruction of humanity, would violate the Mantle. The Prometheans opposed and forestalled the construction of the Halo Array, succeeding in delaying the Array's activation for thousands of years. | Once humanity was defeated, the tragedies of the war convinced the Didact and his fellow [[Promethean]]s that using the [[Halo Array]], like the destruction of humanity, would violate the Mantle.
