The Forerunners constructed seven massive rings, called "Fortress Worlds". They are artificial worlds complete with gravity and different environments such as deserts, oceans, islands, arctic-like tundras, mountain ranges, and swamps. Called "Halos" by the Covenant, they were designed to study and contain the Flood lifeform, as well as function as a weapon of mass destruction. They were created a few hundred years after the Flood lifeform 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. | The [[Forerunners]] constructed seven massive rings, called '''"Fortress Worlds"'''.

The '''Halos''', as humans call them based on intercepted [[Covenant]] transmissions<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 38</ref> (Alternatively known as the '''Sacred Rings''' by the Covenant or '''Fortress Worlds''' by their creators), are seven massive ring-shaped installations constructed by the [[Forerunner]] throughout the galaxy one hundred thousand years ago as a last resort when combatting the parasite known as the [[Flood]]. They are both research facilities and weapons of mass destruction. Each installation was constructed orbiting a gas giant planet, though it is unknown exactly why this was done. Once the Halos were activated, the Forerunners also designed a massive shelter called "[[Shield World]]" to rescue themselves from the destruction. The seven Halos are designed to be remote controlled from a facility called "[[The Ark]]" | The '''Halos''', as humans call them based on intercepted [[Covenant]] transmissions<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 38</ref> (Alternatively known as the '''Sacred Rings''' by the Covenant or '''Fortress Worlds''' by their creators), are seven massive ring-shaped installations constructed by the [[Forerunner]] throughout the galaxy one hundred thousand years ago as a last resort when combatting the parasite known as the [[Flood]].
