As the Master Chief and [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] discovered, the Halos were not built as religious icons and representations; they are galactic weapons of mass sterilization built by the Forerunners to contain a parasitic species-devouring race known as the Flood. After exhausting every strategic option to destroy the Flood, the Forerunners activated the rings, killing all sentient life within three radii of the galactic center,including those of their own kind within galaxy. This eventually starved and killed off the Flood.<ref>[[Halo 2]]</ref>

Originally, there was a planned, organized process by which the Forerunners would survive the activation (which relied at least partially on the [[Shield Worlds]]), but thanks to [[032 Mendicant Bias|032 Mendicant Bias's]] defection to the Flood at the end of the [[Forerunner-Flood War]] they were unable to do so, as Mendicant Bias had revealed their locations to the Flood.<ref>Halo Encyclopedia, page 232.</ref>
