The '''Threshold gas mine''' was a large [[Forerunner]] structure suspended in the atmosphere of the gas giant [[Threshold]], the planet around which [[Installation 04]] orbited. It was an expansive automated facility that was created and used by the Forerunners and later, by [[Sesa 'Refumee's heretic faction]]. It was destroyed when it fell into Threshold and was crushed by the planet's gravity.{{Ref/Level|Id=oracle|H2|[[The Oracle]]}} It was one of many similar facilities on Threshold.<ref name="art">''[[The Art of Halo]]''</ref> | |||
