'''Reformation''' is the process by which a [[~~Halo Array|Halo Ring~~]] repairs itself.

'''Reformation''' is the process by which a [[Forerunner]] structure repairs itself.

==~~Background~~==

==Overview==

Whenever a Halo Ring suffers damage, its [[Sentinel]]s (assuming there are any left) almost immediately begin to assess the damage and initiate repairs.{{Ref/Game|Id=OTM|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Reverie 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Reverie #04 - On The Mend}} However, depending on the severity of the damage, this natural repair process can potentially take millions of years to complete.{{Ref/Quest|Id=fobmission|HI|Reformation|FOB Juliet}} The Reformation is meant to greatly accelerate the Ring's restoration. During the Reformation, multiple [[Reformation Spire]]s emerge from the surface of the Ring. Once fully activated, the Spires create raw materials which are then sent out to repair the Ring.{{Ref/Quest|Id=The Command Spire|HI|Reformation|The Command Spire}} The Spires are controlled by a [[Command Spire (location)|Command Spire]], which operates in conjunction with a facility directly below called the [[Nexus (location)|Nexus]].{{Ref/Reuse|Nexus}}

===Other uses===

Zeta Halo appears to be relatively unique among [[Halo Array|Halos]] in the presence of its reformation spires, with [[117649 Despondent Pyre]]'s [[Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Monitor Reports|monitor reports]] indicating that such a feature was not standard across all Halo installations.{{Ref/Reuse|Artifact III}} However, reformation was employed in other use cases across the [[Ecumene]]. Forerunner [[orbital reformer]]s were particularly noted to be built around a "reformation core", which allowed them to deconstruct entire [[planet]]s and reform them into desired outcomes using a [[design seed]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=360}} The monitor [[295 Enduring Bias]] later used reformation in the process of reconstructing the remains of [[The Refuge]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=370}}

As they went out of style, became antiquated or were simply damaged beyond repair, [[Forerunner starship]]s were often reformed or recycled.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=377}}

==History==

Line 33:

Despite the loss of the Spire network, the Harbinger and her allies continued to rebuild the Auditorium.{{Ref/Reuse|Repository}} By the time the Chief arrived at the Auditorium, enough of the facility had been restored such that the Harbinger could use it to locate and free [[Xalanyn|her people]]. Ultimately, the Chief defeated her before she could unleash the Endless. Before dying, the Harbinger sent a message to an unseen ally, informing them they had what they needed to complete her work. Shortly after her death, [[Atriox]] entered the containment facility where the Endless were imprisoned.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Silent Auditorium|HI|Endless|Silent Auditorium}}

~~==Notes==~~

*It's not clear if all Halo Rings are capable of carrying out the Reformation, or if only Installation 07 has this ability. Despondent Pyre implies in the ''Artifact III'' log that the Reformation Spires are unique to Zeta Halo.
