She then begins recounting the history of the galaxy. | ||
Over 100,000 years ago, there was once a great civilization called the [[Forerunner]]s. However, their empire was invaded by a parasite called the [[Flood]]. Initially, the Forerunners treated the Flood as an infestation, until it was too late. The more Forerunners assimilated by the Flood, the more intelligent the Flood became. Soon, open war was on the rise. The Forerunners were confident that their valor and technology would stop the Flood. Unfortunately, the parasite had spread too far across their empire. On the verge of defeat, the Forerunners made one last ditch attempt to eradicate the Flood from the galaxy. They constructed the [[seven]] [[Halo Array|Halo rings]] and used [[Installation 00|The Ark]] to send the rings to different parts in the galaxy. The seven rings would destroy all sentient life and Flood biomass. Once the rings were in place, the effects of the rings cleansed the galaxy of all sentient life, including Flood, in an instant. | Over 100,000 years ago, there was once a great civilization called the [[Forerunner]]s.
