The '''Battle of Maginot Sphere'''<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', [[Terminals|Terminal 6]]</ref> was a naval/space battle during the [[Forerunner-Flood War]]. It marked a turning point in the war — the Flood had stopped feeding and expanding, ~~and instead, were devoting their~~ efforts to penetrating the last Forerunner line of defense, the [[Maginot Sphere]], to complete the destruction of the Forerunners.

===Mendicant Bias===

The battle was preceded by the [[rampancy]] of the [[Forerunner]] [[artificial intelligence]] [[Mendicant Bias]], who after a protracted intelligent conversation with the Flood, had decided that the Flood were the next step of evolution for galactic life, and that the Forerunners were corrupt for resisting this inevitable evolution ~~and for~~ refusing to be supplanted by their biologically superior adversary. Mendicant declared his allegiance with the Flood and defamed the Forerunners, ~~and~~ not only ~~lent~~ his tactical intelligence to the Flood by directing their fleets, but also gave the thousands of Forerunner-crewed vessels under his command to the Flood. However, his intelligence was tinged with madness, against blind fury for the Forerunners and for their obstinate tendencies, making his actions predictable, and ~~were~~ thus easily countered.
