Unlike the other six rings in the final Halo Array, Installation 07 was manufactured at the [[greater Ark]] instead of [[Installation 00]] or the "lesser Ark". As a result, it was originally three times the size of a normal Halo ring (30,000 kilometers in diameter).{{Ref/Reuse|prim341}} Like the other Halos, Installation 07 served a secondary purpose as a [[Lifeworker]] preserve for biological specimens from across the galaxy as part of the [[Conservation Measure]]. Installation 07 was primarily dedicated to [[human]]s, being home to various species and subspecies of the human genus, alongside numerous fauna and flora. The humans living on the installation identified themselves as [[Tudejsa]], meaning "the People" or "People from Here" | Unlike the other six rings in the final Halo Array, Installation 07 was manufactured at the [[greater Ark]] instead of [[Installation 00]] or the "lesser Ark".

The humans living on the installation identified themselves as [[Tudejsa]], meaning "the People" or "People from Here."{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=25}} In the beginning, these humans were allowed to build their own societies and were mostly left undisturbed by the Forerunners.{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=64-65}} Some of the People even constructed rudimentary cities.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Halo page 36|Pri|Page=36}} | ||
During the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], [[Master Builder]] [[Faber]] placed Installation 07, along with the other eleven rings in the original Array, under control of the [[Contender-class artificial intelligence|Contender-class AI]] [[Mendicant Bias]], and one of the primary extensions of the AI was placed on the ring.{{Ref/Novel|Id=prim190|Pri|Page=190-192}} At one point, the Master Builder broke his deal with the [[Librarian]] and began to use the human specimens on the ring for his brutal experiments on the [[Flood]]. Some of the Lifeworkers serving on the installation complied and aided Faber's minions in these experiments, while those most loyal to the Librarian worked to keep the installation's biological preserves intact. Faber also forcibly drafted [[Warrior-Servant]]s as an additional security force for the installation. In their exhaustive experiments, the Master Builder's researchers found that the majority of humans were apparently immune to the Flood, which they believed to be a result of a "cure" developed by [[ancient humanity]] during the ancient [[Human-Flood war|human-Flood conflict]]. In reality, no cure ever existed, and the humans' apparent immunity was the result of the Flood's ongoing strategy to target Forerunners only.{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=364}} | During the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], [[Master Builder]] [[Faber]] placed Installation 07, along with the other eleven rings in the original Array, under control of the [[Contender-class artificial intelligence|Contender-class AI]] [[Mendicant Bias]], and one of the primary extensions of the AI was placed on the ring.{{Ref/Novel|Id=prim190|Pri|Page=190-192}} At one point, the Master Builder broke his deal with the [[Librarian]] and began to use the human specimens on the ring for his brutal experiments on the [[Flood]].
