-'''Installation 03''', also known as '''Gamma Halo'''<ref name="Composer">'''Halo 4''', ''Composer''</ref>, is one of the [[List of "seven" references in the Halo series|seven]] rings in the [[Halo Array]]. It was originally part of a smaller array of six Halos with a diameter of 10,000 kilometers, as opposed to the 12 larger, 30,000-kilometer-wide Halo installations.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 329''</ref> Its [[monitor]] is [[03-049 Abject Testament]].<ref name="Terminal"/> It appears to have a red and cracked surface, indicating the presence of vast deserts, as well as what appears to be volcanic activity,<ref name="enc"/> the latter of which exists through clearly artificial means.<ref group="note">Volcanic activity is caused by the movement of tectonic plates and the friction generated between them. The structure of the installation would presumably not allow such movement, however, there are oceans which may suggest a more diverse environment, similar to [[Installation 04]] and [[Installation 05]]. It is probable that the volcanic activity is superficial, as generated by underground mechanisms or, less likely, that the Halo features artificial tectonic dynamics.</ref>

 Unlike Installations [[Installation 04|04]] and [[Installation 05|05]], which orbit large gas giants, Installation 03 orbits a rocky planet, the face of which has been shattered as a result of a fairly recent impact event; the debris from the impact, still aglow as of [[2557]], has collected to form a dense [[asteroid]] field in orbit over the planet as well as Installation 03.<ref name="composer">'''Halo 4''', ''[[Composer (level)|Composer]]''</ref>
