Installation 01 is one of the seven Halo installations that survived Mendicant Bias' assault on the Forerunner capital. The ring's landscape is comprised of a large desert with a limited atmosphere; this may have been by design, due to a lack of proper maintenance or some other incident after the original firing of the Halo Array. It is the farthest Halo from Installation 00.[1]
Background
Activation
During the Battle of Installation 05 on November 3, 2552, a signal was sent to this Halo from Installation 05, putting it on standby mode. A readout from Installation 05's control room showed that Installation 01 was fully prepared to fire on demand.[2]
Deactivation
During the Battle of Installation 00 later the same year, Installation 01 was still in standby mode and was prepared to receive the signal to fire. However, SPARTAN John-117 deactivated the installation, as well as the rest of the array, before it could be fired.[3]
Trivia
Its surface bears a exact resemblance to a portion of Mars's surface. [citation needed]
