Installation 04 orbited the massive gas giant [[Threshold]], and was suspended in the [[Lagrange point]] between Threshold and its largest [[natural satellite]], [[Basis]]. The installation had a 24-degree axial tilt from Threshold's orbital plane. Due to this, any given point on the surface of the ring received sunlight from the star [[Soell]] for half of the time it was on the sunny side of Threshold, and none when was on the dark side. This created a somewhat unusual day-night cycle for the ring, in which it was dark three-fourths of the time and had no sunrise or sunset similar to those of a planet.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets]]''', ''page 64''</ref> | Installation 04 orbited the massive gas giant [[Threshold]], and was suspended in the [[Lagrange point]] between Threshold and its largest [[natural satellite]], [[Basis]].
