Sanghelios: Difference between revisions

'''Sanghelios''' is the homeworld of the [[Sangheili]] species. Sanghelios is the fourth planet in a [[Wikipedia:Multiple star|triple star system]] containing [[Urs]], [[Fied]], and [[Joori]]. The planet has two moons called [[Qikost]] and [[Suban]]. Many [[Forerunner]] artifacts and structures exist on the planet, which are the topic of worship, as well as the cause of historical [[war]]s between the Sangheili and the [[San 'Shyuum]] before the formation of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]].<ref name="bestiarum">'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''[[Bestiarum]]''</ref>

Sanghelios has a gravity of 1.375 Gs, and an average surface temperature of -5°C to 96°C (23°F to 204.8°F). Sanghelios is inhabited by approximately 8.132 billion [[Sangheili]]. The [[Bestiarum]] indicates that Sanghelios is similar to [[Earth]] in shape and proportion, though the land masses are more scattered in relation to bodies of water. Like Earth, its atmosphere consists of oxygen; carbon dioxide and nitrogen, but also has a reddish hue to it, perhaps indicating large amounts of hematite or molten rock.

Being a homeworld, the planet is home to a huge number of civilian Sangheili numbering over eight billion, as well as a large defense force.<ref name="bestiarum"/> As with Sangheili governments in general, most Sangheili on Sanghelios live in city-states led by and named after a particular Sangheili family.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 93''</ref> Other families may also live in a state named after another family.<ref>'''[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 3]]'''</ref>
