| Plaon was an ancient [[San'Shyuum]] colony settled in their first great space-faring civilization. After [[Human-Forerunner wars|the defeat]] of the San'Shyuum [[Human-San'Shyuum alliance|alliance]] with [[Ancestors|ancient humanity]] at the hands of the [[Forerunner]]s, the San'Shyuum were exiled to their [[Qom Yaekesh system|home system]] though the Forerunners permitted them to travel to colonies on Plaon, along with the colonies on another planet in the system and its moons.<ref>''[[Halo: Cryptum]]'', p. 210</ref>

| Minerals from Plaon were used to power the "strident shield" of [[High Charity]], forming a powerful [[Energy shielding|shielding system]] called "Plaon's Gaze".<ref>''[[Halo Mythos]]'', p. 112</ref> The lunar week based on Plaon's orbit around Janjur Qom defined the artificial luminous cycles of High Charity and ultimately informed the [[Covenant]]'s daily cycles of worship, labor, and rest.<ref>''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'', p. 227</ref> Covenant annals recorded Janjur Qom and Plaon as destroyed when their star collapsed in on itself in [[648 BCE]], though many question the truthfulness of this claim and believe it to be a San'Shyuum lie.<ref>''Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)'', p. 197</ref><ref name="Best">''[[Halo 3]]'', "[[Bestiarum]]"</ref> | |
