The purpose of the solute was to cause every animal killed by the [[Halo Array]] to instantly decay into their component molecules. This was meant to prevent pollution of the atmosphere due to decomposition{{Ref/Reuse|HSS1}} which had happened on [[Faun Hakkor]] following the test firing of [[Installation 07]]. While acknowledging the intended purpose of the substance, [[Catalog]] also contemplated the possibility that the solute could have been used as a convenient means to obscure the firing of the Halos and the subsequent mass extinctions from future investigators.{{Ref/Novel|Id= | The purpose of the solute was to cause every animal killed by the [[Halo Array]] to instantly decay into their component molecules.

Despite the Catalogs idea that solute could have been used as a convenient means to obscure the firing of the Halos and the subsequent mass extinctions from future investigators,{{Ref/Reuse|HSS1}} evidence remained in the form of an absence of any fossil evidence.

The solute was spread over many of the planets before the Halos were activated. Catalog observed solute being released on [[Earth|Erde-Tyrene]] during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]] as the [[Lifeworker]]s oversaw the indexing of the planet as part of the [[Conservation Measure]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS1}} | The solute was spread over many of the planets before the Halos were activated.
