'''Triniel''' is a | '''Triniel''' is a planet in the [[Forerunner]] [[ecumene]] that contained a manufacturing facility for Forerunner ships. | ||
==History== | ==History== | ||
At some point in [[Forerunner]] history, Triniel was settled as part of the [[ecumene]] and became a flourishing world with multiple cities on all three continents and a [[Builder]] facility for creating and repairing Forerunner ships. However, during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], Triniel became a target for the [[Flood]]. With no escaping their fate, no help forthcoming and nowhere to run, the planet's population chose to commit mass suicide by releasing a planet-wide toxin that would deprive the Flood of their food source and potential for enormous growth. By the time the Flood arrived, Triniel was a dead world and was thus left untouched by the Flood. Over the next 100,000 years, the toxin dissipated, leaving Triniel's atmosphere safe again. The effects of the toxin likely created a divergent evolutionary path for all of the planet's flora and fauna.{{Ref/Novel|Ren|Page=202-203}} | At some point in [[Forerunner]] history, Triniel was settled as part of the [[ecumene]] and became a flourishing world with multiple cities on all three continents and a [[Builder]] facility for creating and repairing Forerunner ships.
