The first array of twelve Halos was constructed by order of [[Master Builder]] [[Faber]] circa [[98,445 BCE]] with the intent of being an ultimate weapon, one that would secure the preeminence of the [[Builder]] [[rate]] in Forerunner society.<ref name="c274">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 274''</ref> Later, the weapons would be refined further and a new array of six smaller and significantly more lethal rings was constructed. Eventually, eleven were destroyed and/or lost while the remaining [[seven]] were used by the Forerunners as a last resort when combating the parasitic [[Flood]]. All [[sentience|sentient]] beings in the galaxy were killed, robbing the Flood of hosts and starving it to death. | The first array of twelve Halos was constructed by order of [[Master Builder]] [[Faber]] circa [[98,445 BCE]] with the intent of being an ultimate weapon, one that would secure the preeminence of the [[Builder]] [[rate]] in Forerunner society.<ref name="c274">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 274''</ref> Later, the weapons would be refined further and a new array of six smaller and significantly more lethal rings was constructed.
