The [[Flood]] is an extremely adaptive, dangerous, and expendable parasitic lifeform | The [[Flood]] is an extremely adaptive, dangerous, and expendable parasitic lifeform. Ihat was first encountered in the Milky Way Galaxy by the [[Forerunners]] on planet [[G617 g1]] by a Forerunner pioneer group. It is a highly infectious viral supercell, and the cause of the "Forerunner-Flood War" which lasted approximately 300 years. This can be the reason that the [[Halo Array]] was constructed, as a last final effort by the Forerunners to preserve biological diversity in the galaxy. After exhausting every last strategic option, the Halos were fired, resulting in the elimination of the original Flood infestation. | ||
The Flood exists in a fairly stable state in the absence of a [[Gravemind]]. They lack the ability to spawn spontaneously. They form around sentient life forms, specifically those that are self-aware and capable of introspection. This stage of a Flood outbreak is known as the [[Feral Stage]]. | The Flood exists in a fairly stable state in the absence of a [[Gravemind]]. They lack the ability to spawn spontaneously.
