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.

Its precise location is unknown, however, [[Earth]] was most likely not inside it and neither were most of the worlds the [[Librarian]] visited in her duties.<ref name="terminals"/>

It was heavily damaged when the [[Flood]] made a massive attack on it, led and commanded by the rampant [[Forerunner]] [[AI]] [[Mendicant Bias]]. It was the primary line of defense holding the [[Flood]] back. It is assumed that it was broken before the first firing of the [[Halo Array]]. It was a sphere around a Forerunner-controlled area of space.
