*[[The Didact]] is resuscitated from his exile in a [[Cryptum]] by [[Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]]. They later make their way to Janjur Qom, where the Didact is interrogated and eventually executed by the [[Faber|Master Builder]], but lives on in Bornstellar's body through an imprint acquired in his [[Forerunner mutation|mutation]]. Shortly afterward, the Master Builder authorizes the use of a [[Halo Array|Halo ring]] to put down the San 'Shyuum rebellion by sterilizing the entire system. For this, the Master Builder is placed on trial and the [[Forerunner Council]] decides that the Halo rings be decommissioned.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 245''</ref> | *[[The Didact]] is resuscitated from his exile in a [[Cryptum]] by [[Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]].

*In the final hours of the war, the Forerunners realize that activating their last resort, the Halo Array, is the only way to stop the Flood from overrunning the galaxy. As the Didact prepares to activate the rings, Mendicant Bias assembles all Flood-controlled vessels into a fleet of 4.8 million ships, and breaches the [[Maginot Sphere]]. On the other side awaits [[Offensive Bias]] and its combined fleet. As the two fleets [[Battle of the Maginot Sphere|engage each other]], the Halo Array is fired. The Halo pulse kills all sentient life within three radii of the galactic center, including any Forerunners not located on [[Installation 00|The Ark]] or within [[Shield World]]s. Minutes after the firing of the array, Mendicant Bias's fleet is decimated by Offensive Bias.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''[[Terminal]]s''</ref> | *In the final hours of the war, the Forerunners realize that activating their last resort, the Halo Array, is the only way to stop the Flood from overrunning the galaxy.
