The '''Maginot Line'''<ref>[[Terminals]]</ref>, otherwise known as the '''Maginot Sphere''', was a [[Forerunner]] defensive line that protected the [[Forerunner]] inner colonies. It divided what the Forerunners were able to protect from what they had to leave to the Flood. Its precise location is unknown, but from records drawn from the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Terminals]], we can assume that [[Earth]] was not inside it and neither were most of the worlds the [[Librarian]] visited in her duties. | The '''Maginot Line'''<ref>[[Terminals]]</ref>, otherwise known as the '''Maginot Sphere''', was a [[Forerunner]] defensive line that protected the [[Forerunner]] inner colonies.

The Maginot Sphere may have been a physical object, (an energy barrier of some sort) as a [[Keyship]] was needed to enter it. It may also be a hypothetical line, not a physical object, used to mark what could and couldn't be saved, and the fleets guarding it would not permit you to pass unless you were in a Keyship. | The Maginot Sphere may have been a physical object, (an energy barrier of some sort) as a [[Keyship]] was needed to enter it.

==Naming== | |||
It is important to note that Maginot Line would not have been the actual name used by the Forerunners. The Forerunner records describing the line were discovered using translation software so advanced that it incorporates idioms from the reader's own experience.<ref>[[Halo Encyclopedia]], page 165</ref> Thus words such as "[[Eden]]" or "Maginot Line" became the default usage in Forenner terminals and transmissions.<ref>Halo Encyclopedia, page 165</ref> This was likely because there is no direct translation for the original Forerunner words, thus the software utilizes human equivalents. These words appear in brackets in the [[Terminals]]. | |||
