| Although the initiation of the Interstellar Stage has less to do with the Flood's biological development and more with their access to viable space travel,<ref name="bestiarum"/> late into this stage, the Flood transcends beyond its purely biological aspect. With the assimilation of entire planets and the development of [[Key Mind]]s, planet-engulfing [[Gravemind]] forms,<ref name="sil186">'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 186-187''</ref> the sheer intelligence and processing power of the Flood's collective consciousness enables them to manipulate [[neural physics]]. In the final years of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the Flood was able to control [[Precursor]] artifacts through this effect, which made them nearly unstoppable against the Forerunners.<ref name="sil186"/><ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 188-189''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 236''</ref> However, all Precursor artifacts in the galaxy were supposedly destroyed when the [[Halo Array]] was fired at the conclusion of the war, denying the Flood access to Precursor technology in later times.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 326''</ref>

| This is the stage the Flood was in during the final years of the Forerunner-Flood war and the events of the [[Battle of Installation 00]]. After taking an entire galaxy, the Flood is theorized to enter the [[Transgalactic Stage]].
