The Halos were created a few hundred years after the Flood was discovered by the Forerunners, because their builders saw that their current isolation and containment procedures were not adequate to stop the spread of the Flood. Little is known of their extensive history, (At least one was functional for 101,217 years) but after exhausting every other tactical option, their creators had no choice but to activate the Halos' main weapon, and destroy all sentient life in the galaxy.

The seven halos then remained relatively dormant for one hundred thousand years (Though at least one of them experienced a major Flood outbreak) until one of them, [[Installation 04]] (known amongst fans as [[Alpha Halo]]), was discovered by the theocratic alien superpower, the Covenant. The Covenant, who revered the Forerunner as gods, believed that the Halo's main weapon was actually a "divine wind" meant to propel them on a path they called the "[[Great Journey]]". This idea caused them to recklessly release the Flood of the installation, an act further complicated by the arrival of the human vessel ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn]]''. A massive four way melee ensued between the Covenant, the Forerunner Constructs, the Flood, and the Humans. This finally culminated when the Human [[Spartan]] known as the [[Master Chief]] detonated the fusion engines of the ''Pillar of Autumn'' on the surface of the Installation, destroying it completely.
