The '''Maginot Line''',<ref name="terminals">'''[[Halo 3]]''', [[Terminals]]</ref> otherwise known as the '''Maginot Sphere''', was a [[Forerunner]] defensive line that protected the Forerunner inner colonies. It divided what the Forerunners were able to protect from what they had to leave to [[the Flood]]. Its precise boundary is unknown; however, [[Earth]] was not inside it and neither were most of the worlds [[the Librarian]] visited in her duties. For a long time, [[the Didact]] worked in the Maginot sphere, frequently sending transmissions from it to the Librarian asking her to retreat behind it to where the Didact said their fleets could protect her. The sphere was breached when the Flood staged [[Battle of the Maginot Sphere|a massive assault]] led by the rampant Forerunner [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[05-032 Mendicant Bias|Mendicant Bias]].<ref name="terminals"/> | The '''Maginot Line''',<ref name="terminals">'''[[Halo 3]]''', [[Terminals]]</ref> otherwise known as the '''Maginot Sphere''', referred to by the Forerunners as '''Jat-Krula''',<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 7''</ref> was a [[Forerunner]] defensive line that protected the Forerunner inner colonies.

Although the nature of the Maginot Line was not elaborated upon in the Terminals, [[Line Installation 1-4]] may well be part of the Line. This is supported by the Installation's name, as well as its function - preventing ships passing through a certain point using a weapon that can fire into [[slipspace]], as well as serving as a [[Flood research facility]]. In addition, [[Frank O'Connor]] commented on the name that "fans of the terminals will probably figure it out", implying that the reference to a "Line" is linked to the story told in the Terminals, where the Maginot Line was first mentioned.<ref>[http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive31.pl?read=941695 '''halo.bungie.org''': ''Re: Halo: Blood Line, Issue #1 cover and info'']</ref> | Although the nature of the Maginot Line was not elaborated upon in the Terminals, [[Line Installation 1-4]] may well be part of the Line.
