Installation 01, also known as Beta Halo, is one of the seven ring-shaped superweapons that comprise the Halo Array. It was originally part of a smaller array of six Halo installations with the diameter of 10,000 kilometers, as opposed to the 12 larger, 30,000-kilometer-wide Halos. 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.
