+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 location 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 made a [[battle of the Maginot Sphere|massive attack on it]], led and commanded 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''', 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 location is unknown; however, [[Earth]] was most likely not inside it and neither were most of the worlds the [[Librarian]] visited in her duties.<ref name="terminals"/>
-It was heavily damaged when the Flood made a massive attack on it, led and commanded by the rampant Forerunner [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Mendicant Bias]]. It was the primary line of defense holding the Flood back. It is assumed that it was broken before the first firing of the [[Halo Array]]. Although it was a defense against the Flood, it cannot be assumed that the Flood conquered all worlds that were outside of the Sphere, as Earth (which was suspected to lie outside of the sphere) was presumably not infected, because the Librarian was on it, marveling over its beauty before the Array fired.
-It can be assumed that 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 the Librarian.
 The Maginot Sphere may have been a physical object, (an energy barrier or a defensive line of some sort) as a [[Keyship]] was needed to enter it. It may also be a hypothetical line, not a physical object, used to mark what could and could not be saved, and the fleets guarding it would not permit anyone or anything to pass unless it was in a Keyship.
 ==Naming==
-"Maginot Line" was not the actual name used by the Forerunners to refer to the defensive perimeter. The Forerunner records describing the line were discovered using translation software so advanced that it incorporated idioms from the reader's own culture<ref name="enc">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 165''</ref>, thus where objects with no actual translation were referred to, the software replaced them with Human terms of more or less equivalent meaning. Thus, terms such as "[[Eden]]", "fairy tale" and "Maginot Line" became the default usage in Forerunner terminals and transmissions when read by Humans.<ref name="enc"/> These words appear in brackets in the [[Terminals]].
