The '''Epsilon Indi system''' was the system that the [[Human]] colony world of [[Harvest]] was in. The system was first colonized in [[2468]]. There was one habitable planet in the system. ''[[Sif]]'' an [[AI]] that operates all of Harvest's orbital elevators often wonders why colonize this world. The reason for her thoughts is that Epsilon Indi was more than a little out of the way, but the only answer that she could come up with was Harvest. The fact that Harvest was habitable was enough to elicit a colonization effort. | |||
It contained an amber sun in the middle and three planets, one of which, Harvest, was habitable. All were in close orbit. It was briefly occupied by the [[UNSC]] around [[2525]] and was a new colony at the time. The UNSC established a population of three million citizens and an orbital platform orbiting the planet, but it was still considered to be on the frontier of explored space. | |||
In 2525, the [[Covenant]] sent a ship into the system. It was the Human's first contact with the Covenant and the Covenant [[glassed]] Harvest. In [[2531]], [[The Battle of Harvest]] took place in the system and the UNSC took it back from the Covenant. | |||
It is unclear who currently possesses the Epsilon Indi system. Planet Harvest is dead, and so neither the UNSC nor the Covenant have any real tactical value for the system. | |||
It should be noted that six ships fled the planet before it was glassed. The Covenant destroyed five of them. The one that escaped carried [[Spartan-Shane|Shane]], a future [[Spartan III]] (Shane was part of the first unit of Spartan-IIIs, [[Alpha Company]]).<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], page 72</ref> | |||
