+The date '''100,000.''' [[Wikipedia:Common Era|B.C.E]] was the approximate time when [[The Forerunners]] fired the [[Halos]]<ref>http://halosm.bungie.org/story/staten083106.html</ref>, or what the [[Covenant]] refer to as [[The Great Journey]]. [[343 Guilty Spark]] put the date as the year 97,448 B.C.E, though it should be noted that he measured it on Installation 04's year, not the 365.25 day Earth calendar.
-It should be noted that C.E stands for Common Era, the years after the birth of Jesus Christ (or the commonly accepted calendar by most Western cultures) with B.C.E standingi for Before Common Era, the years prior to the birth of Jesus Christ (or the commonly accepted calendar by most Western cultures).This means that the firing of the Halo installations would be exactly 100,000 years prior to the Battle of Earth (97,448 + 2552 = 100,000).
 The activation was supposed to end the [[Forerunner-Flood War]]. It killed all sentient life within three radii of the galactic center, including any Forerunners not located on [[The Ark]] or within [[Shield World]]s. The date, about 100,000 years ago, is around the time our ''Homo sapiens'' ancestors began migrating out of [[Africa]]. The date is also when the [[Halo 3: The Cradle of Life]] comics take place.
