Supernova: Difference between revisions

In early Forerunner history, the Forerunners attempted to manipulate several stars in their region of space. They subsequently failed and caused several stars to supernova, leaving their [[Ghibalb|homeworld]] heavily irradiated and uninhabitable.<ref>''[[Halo: Cryptum]] page ???''</ref>

Before their extinction at the hands of the [[Flood]], and the [[Halo Array]], the Forerunner fleet had "the capacity to force premature stellar collapse," creating an artificial supernova, used to destroy entire star systems taken by the Flood.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''[[Terminals]]'', Second Terminal</ref>

Another supernova occurred in [[648 B.C.E.]] causing the destruction of the [[San 'Shyuum]] homeworld.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 113''</ref>

In the [[Battle of the Flood-controlled Shield World]] in [[2531]], the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] moved the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}'s [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|Slipspace Drive]] into [[The Apex|the Apex Site]] of the [[Shield World (Halo Wars)|unnamed Shield World]] and detonated it close to the internal miniature star. The chain reaction sent the star into supernova state, obliterating the [[Shield World|Installation]] and the fleet of [[Unnamed Forerunner Starship|Forerunner Ships]], preventing the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] from using it and saving [[Humans|Humanity]] from total defeat and extinction.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', ''cutscene [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw449I95UHY&feature=player_embedded "One Less Sun in The Universe"]''</ref>
