Cygnus
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Cygnus, also designated as Cygnus II, is an Outer Colony world of the Unified Earth Government and the second planet in orbit in the Cygnus system.[1]
In the late 2540's, a colony ship traveling to Cygnus suffered a catastrophic slipspace malfunction due to its improperly mounted slipspace drive. When the drive was activated, the ship was cut in half and 700 crew and passengers were killed.[2]
After the war, fetcher Oliver Birch was intending to deliver a "saddle box" slipspace drive to an ONI agent, Steve, on Cygnus.[3]
