The '''Maginot Line''',<ref name="terminals">'''[[Halo 3]]''', [[Terminals]]</ref> otherwise known as the '''Maginot Sphere''', referred to by the Forerunners as '''Jat-Krula''',<ref name="silentium">'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 7''</ref> was a [[Forerunner]] defensive line that protected the Forerunner inner colonies within the [[Orion complex]]. Constructed thousands of years before the [[Forerunner-Flood war]] and used in the Forerunners' many historical conflicts, the Line consisted of numerous [[Line installation]]s, defensive outposts which could fire directly into slipspace and prevent ships from entering the line. However, the line was not impregnable and skilled Forerunner commanders were known to have bypassed its defenses during their past civil wars.<ref name="silentium"/> | The '''Maginot Line''',<ref name="terminals">'''[[Halo 3]]''', [[Terminals]]</ref> otherwise known as the '''Maginot Sphere''', referred to by the Forerunners as the '''Jat-Krula protected boundary''',<ref name="silentium">'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 7''</ref> was a [[Forerunner]] defensive line that protected the Forerunner inner colonies within the [[Orion complex]].

During the later days of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the Line divided what the Forerunners were able to protect from what they had to leave to the [[Flood]]. Its precise boundary is unknown; however, [[Earth]] was not inside it and neither were most of the worlds the [[Librarian]] visited in [[Conservation Measure|her duties]]. In the final days of the war, the [[IsoDidact]] worked in the Maginot sphere, frequently sending transmissions from it to the Librarian asking her to retreat behind it to where the Didact said their fleets could protect her. The sphere was breached when the Flood staged [[Battle of the Maginot Sphere|a massive assault]] led by the rampant Forerunner [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[05-032 Mendicant Bias|Mendicant Bias]].<ref name="terminals"/> | During the later days of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the Line divided what the Forerunners were able to protect from what they had to leave to the [[Flood]].
