*The Librarian, stranded on Earth, initiates the burial process of the [[Portal at Voi]]. As she spends her last hours in the savanna, the Gravemind sends down imprinted ancient human essences to reveal the [[Domain]]'s true nature as a Precursor creation; as a result, the Domain will be destroyed when the Halos fire, leading to the loss of not only all Forerunner history but also the knowledge the Precursors had collected over the course of billions of years.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 37''</ref> | *The Librarian, stranded on Earth, initiates the burial process of the [[Portal at Voi]].

*As the IsoDidact prepares to activate the rings, Mendicant Bias assembles all Flood-controlled vessels into a fleet of 4.8 million ships, and breaches the [[Maginot Sphere]]. On the other side awaits [[Offensive Bias]] with the remains of the Forerunner fleet. As the two fleets engage each other in an [[Battle of the Maginot Sphere|enormous naval battle]], the Halo Array is fired. The Halo pulse kills all sentient life within three radii of the galactic center, including any Forerunners not located on [[Installation 00|the Ark]] or within [[Shield World]]s. Minutes after the firing of the Array, Mendicant Bias's fleet is obliterated by Offensive Bias.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''[[Terminal/Halo 3|Terminals]]''</ref> | *As the IsoDidact prepares to activate the rings, Mendicant Bias assembles all Flood-controlled vessels into a fleet of 4.8 million ships, and breaches the [[Maginot Sphere]].
