The '''Tiara''' was a space station in equatorial [[geosynchronous orbit]] over [[Utgard]], on the human colony [[Harvest]]. Constructed in [[2468]] when the Harvest colony was founded, it supported the [[Harvest Space Elevators|seven space elevators]] servicing the colony's capital city of Utgard, and functioned as an orbital port for passenger and cargo transport, as well as the storage area for the data centers of the [[AI]] [[Sif]], who was in charge of Harvest's shipping operations and maintaining the ''Tiara'' 's position.<ref name="ch66">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 66''</ref> | |||

The Tiara | The ''Tiara'' is described as two arcs separated by the [[Carbon nanofiber|carbon nano-fiber]] strands that made up the space elevators of Harvest. The beam work connecting the elevator strands to the arcs resembled delicate filigree. Six beveled [[titanium]] spars ran the length of the facility. [[Avery Johnson]] estimated the station was about 4 kilometers long and it's interior around 300 meters in diameter (13,200 and 990 feet, respectively).<ref name="ch66"/> It possessed some form of [[artificial gravity]] as well. | ||
It, along with Sif, was destroyed in [[2525]] when [[Loki]] fired Harvest's [[mass driver]] from the surface of the planet, just before Harvest fell to the Covenant.

The ''Tiara'' was not present in [[2502]], but was fully functional by [[2524]]. It, along with Sif, was destroyed in [[2525]] when [[Loki]] fired Harvest's [[mass driver]] from the surface of the planet, just before Harvest fell to the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]. The strands wrapped around Harvest, as per its rotation and the remnants of the ''Tiara'' fell into Harvest's atmosphere.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 378''</ref> In a state of grief, [[Mack]], Harvest's agricultural AI, used the [[JOTUN]]s to bury the elevator strands of the ''Tiara'', protecting them from plasma fire as Harvest was [[Glassing|glassed]] by the Covenant.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''pages 391-396''</ref> | |||

Seven space elevators run from Harvest's ground to the Tiara. The number is a reference to Bungie's favorite [[seven|number]]. | |||
