The Forerunners originated on the planet [[Ghibalb]] in the [[Orion complex]]. The world served as the hub of the Forerunners' fledgling interstellar civilization, comprised of twelve systems within the nebular complex, until it was rendered uninhabitable by an [[astroengineering]] disaster. The Forerunners had attempted to manipulate several stars in their region of space, but accidentally caused a series of supernovae that resulted in their planet being burned to a cinder by radiation. This event nearly caused the Forerunners' extinction.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 222''</ref> | The Forerunners originated on the planet [[Ghibalb]] in the [[Orion complex]].
