It was started on [[Seaward|G617 g1]] around [[97,745 BC]] and lasted approximately three centuries. The Forerunners concluded the war in [[97,445 BC]] with the activation of the [[Halo Array]], seven superweapons that purged the galaxy of all [[Sentience|sentient]] life in order to stop the Flood. The conflict ended the Forerunners' eons-long rule in the galaxy; most of their [[ecumene]] having fallen to the Flood, the few remaining members of the species went into exile after completing the [[Reintroduction|repopulation]] of the galaxy's sentient species from specimens [[Conservation Measure|preserved]] at [[Installation 00|the Ark]]. | ||
