The '''Zeta Doradus system''' is a planetary system near [[ | The '''Zeta Doradus system''' is a planetary system near [[UNSC]]-controlled space, approximately 38 light-years from [[Sol system|Sol]]. It contains many planets orbiting the star Zeta Doradus, almost all of which are icy [[Wikipedia:Terrestrial planet|rocky planets]] or [[Wikipedia:Gas giant|gas giants]], none of which are habitable. The one exception, however, is the [[Astroengineering#Artificial Planets|artificial planet]] known as [[Onyx]].<ref name="GoO">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 150''</ref> The system is relatively unknown to the UNSC.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 301''</ref> | ||
