The '''Lambda Serpentis System''' is a star system in the constellation Serpens. It is 38.3 light years from the [[Sol System]] and was formerly a part of the [[UNSC]]'s outer colonies. At least one planet in the system was colonized by humans at one time: the planet [[Jericho VII]].  
==History==
In [[2535]], the [[Covenant]] invaded the system and attacked the [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] of [[Jericho VII]]. Even though the [[United Nations Space Command]] deployed [[Spartan-II]]s to help [[Battle of Jericho VII|defend Jericho VII]], the human defenses were overwhelmed and the Covenant [[Glassing|glassed]] the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|forp}}


In [[2525]], the ''[[UNSC Atlas]]'' went on a patrol in this system. In [[2535]], it fell to the [[Covenant]] and Jericho VII was [[glassed]].
Around September [[2552]], a massive [[Truth's fleet|fleet]] of Covenant [[warship]]s was ordered to travel to the Lambda Serpentis system to collect [[tritium]] gas for their reactors in preparation to rendezvous with ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'' at the [[Hawking system]] before embarking on a mass [[slipspace]] jump to [[Earth]] in the [[Sol system]].<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', Chapter 21</ref>


In [[2552]], a fleet of Covenant ships was ordered to go to the Lambda Serpentis system to collect [[Tritium]] gas for their reactors in preparation to rendezvious with the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'' and mass [[Slipspace]] jump to [[Earth]].
==Trivia==
''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' erroneously describes the system as having two reddish suns. This may indicate that the Jericho and Lambda Serpentis systems were not originally intended to be synonymous.{{Ref/Reuse|forp}}


The system is currently considered to be [[Neutral]].
