The Age of Abandonment is one of the periods in Covenant history.

One of the leading theories is that the Age of Abandonment was the time when the Forerunners left the activated Halo, or, as the Covenant put it, "Embarked on the Great Journey". The Covenant believe that the Forerunners underwent the Great Journey, but in fact they disappeared because they activated the seven Halos in order to contain the recent Flood infection, thereby killing themselves and all sentient life in the galaxy. This event happened about 100,000 years prior to 2552, before other races (humans ect.) had evolved enough to become sentient.

The Age of Abandonment is represented by the stone Obsidian.[1]
