The '''Battle of the Maginot Sphere''' was the final naval engagement during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. Following the revival of [[Mendicant Bias]] by the Flood [[Gravemind]]s, the Flood were gathered together and ceased feeding and expanding. The sole direction of Flood efforts was dedicated to piercing the [[Maginot Line]] and reaching the [[Installation 00|lesser Ark]] in order to stop the [[IsoDidact]] from firing the [[Halo Array]] and thus shattering the Forerunners' last hope of defense. To delay Mendicant Bias long enough to allow the Halos to fire, the IsoDidact deployed the AI's replacement, [[Offensive Bias]], to meet the latter AI at the Line.<ref name="terminal6">'''Halo 3''', ''[[Terminal (Halo 3)|Terminal 6]]''</ref> | The '''Battle of the Maginot Sphere''' was the final naval engagement during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].

It should be noted that there were several battles fought at the Maginot Sphere;<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 212''</ref> this particular instance refers to the last one, and the only one for which intact records survive. This final battle took place shortly after the annihilation of most surviving Forerunners at the [[Battle of the greater Ark]]. | It should be noted that there were several battles fought at the Maginot Sphere;<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 212''</ref> this particular instance refers to the last one, and the only one for which intact records survive.
