The planet's system was once part of the [[prehistoric human civilization|prehistoric human empire]], and was the location where the remaining human forces retreated after [[Charum Hakkor]] had fallen in the [[human-Forerunner wars]]. In the face of inevitable defeat, the human fleet razed the system, bombarding its planets to ruin and polluting them for millions of years to come.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''pages 155-156''</ref>

During the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the planet gained newfound significance as the pre-designated target for [[Halo Array|Halo]] [[Installation 07]]'s failsafe orbit. In the event the ring fell under enemy control, it would enter a course which would eventually cause the ring to smash into the face of the planet, a "suicide option" preventing enemy forces from using the weapon against its creators.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''pages 279, 339''</ref> The [[Rampancy|rampant]] [[Contender-class artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Mendicant Bias]], in charge of most of the ring, was unable to override this measure as most of the installation's automated control systems had been damaged or destroyed; however, biological operators, when connected to the installation's controls, could still steer the ring.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 320''</ref>

After the [[Battle of the Capital]], the failsafe orbit measure was enacted and Installation 07 jumped into the system, approaching the planet. However, Mendicant Bias managed to enlist the aid of several [[human]]s, who, in conjunction with [[Composer]]-processed [[Forerunner]] [[Flood]] victims, successfully moved the ring into a position in which the planet would pass through the Halo. As the ring approached the planet, the [[IsoDidact]] and his fleet arrived in the system. After successfully deactivating Mendicant Bias, the Didact assisted one of the humans, [[Chakas]], in managing the ring's passage past the planet. Although the Halo took heavy damage as a result of stresses from the planet's gravitational pull and was forced to shed a large part of its structure, it eventually survived and was transported to the [[greater Ark]].<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''pages 328-346''</ref>
