'''Installation 01''', also known as '''Beta Halo''', | '''Installation 01''', also known as '''Beta Halo''',<ref name="source">[[:File:H3 halo inner ring title.PNG|Halo 3 Texture files: ''halo_inner_ring'']]</ref> is one of the [[seven]] ring-shaped superweapons that comprise the [[Forerunner]]s' [[Halo Array]]. One of two Halos located in the [[Orion Arm]] (the other being [[Installation 04]]),{{Ref/Reuse|warf12}} Installation 01 is the farthest Halo from [[Installation 00]]. It features a limited atmosphere and a desert-like landscape.{{Ref/Reuse|Encyclopedia}} | ||

The [[Forerunner]]s had Installation 01 constructed by the [[Foundry]] of [[Installation 00]]<ref name="p371">'''[[Halo: Primordium]]''', ''page 371''</ref> approximately around the same time as the rest of the [[Halo Array]], circa [[97,445 BCE]] during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].{{Ref/Reuse|halo array}} | The [[Forerunner]]s had Installation 01 constructed by the [[Foundry]] of [[Installation 00]]<ref name="p371">'''[[Halo: Primordium]]''', ''page 371''</ref> approximately around the same time as the rest of the [[Halo Array]], circa [[97,445 BCE]] during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].{{Ref/Reuse|halo array}}<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-array-with-words '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Array With Words'']</ref> The array was designed by the Forerunner [[Builder]]s to combat the parasitic [[Flood]] by eradicating them and all [[Sentience|sentient]] life in the [[Milky Way]]. After the rings were built, Installation 01 and its fellow Halos were distributed from Installation 00 to positions across the galaxy through [[slipstream space]] [[Slipspace portal|portals]],{{Ref/Reuse|halo array}}<ref>'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[Origins]]''</ref> with Installation 01 being positioned the furthest from the Ark.{{Ref/Reuse|Encyclopedia}} | ||
Afterwards, the Halo Array was [[Great Purification|fired]] and eradicated all sentient life from the galaxy. The Forerunners proceeded to [[Reintroduction|reseed]] the galaxy with life from the species that were [[Conservation Measure|preserved]] on the Halo installations. Like its fellow installations, Installation 01 became home to dormant specimens of the Flood that were intended to be used to help find a cure to the parasite in the future. With the Flood defeated, the surviving Forerunners exiled themselves from the galaxy.{{Ref/Reuse|halo array}} | Afterwards, the Halo Array was [[Great Purification|fired]] and eradicated all sentient life from the galaxy.

On [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]], during the [[Battle of Installation 05|Battle]] of [[Installation 05]], [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae|Chieftain]] [[Tartarus]] of the [[Covenant]] activated Installation 05, though [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Sangheili]] forces managed to terminate the firing sequence before the Halo could fire. As per fail-safe protocol in the event of an unexpected shutdown, a signal was sent to Installation 01 and the rest of the Halos from Installation 05, placing all Halos of the array on standby mode, ready for remote activation from Installation 00. A readout from Installation 05's [[Control Room|control room]] showed that Installation 01 was fully prepared to fire on demand.{{Ref/Reuse|Encyclopedia}}{{Ref/Reuse| | On [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]], during the [[Battle of Installation 05|Battle]] of [[Installation 05]], [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae|Chieftain]] [[Tartarus]] of the [[Covenant]] activated Installation 05, though [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Sangheili]] forces managed to terminate the firing sequence before the Halo could fire.

However, during the [[Battle of Installation 00]] on [[2552#December|December 11, 2552]], the UNSC and allied Sangheili forces fought to prevent the Covenant from firing the Halo Array from the Ark, as Installation 01 and its fellow Halos were still in standby mode and was prepared to receive the signal to fire. Eventually, [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]] succeeded in deactivating Installation 01, as well as the rest of the array, before it could be fired. | However, during the [[Battle of Installation 00]] on [[2552#December|December 11, 2552]], the UNSC and allied Sangheili forces fought to prevent the Covenant from firing the Halo Array from the Ark, as Installation 01 and its fellow Halos were still in standby mode and was prepared to receive the signal to fire.
