Chi Rho was a human colony world in the Ectanus 45 system. It was one of the worlds said to separate the Inner Colonies from the Outer Colonies.
History
In 2535, during the Human-Covenant War, following the loss of most of the Outer Colonies, refugees had started flooding the planet and all available space was being used for victory gardens and refugee camps.[1] Vice Admiral Jean Mawikizi resolved to make a stand against the Covenant on Chi Rho, digging in deep within the planet's crust to survive a glassing attack, forcing the Covenant to come down and flush them out man-to-man.[2]
Locations
Trivia
The name "Chi Rho" could be a religious reference. In Catholicism, the symbol of the letter X combined with the letter P, called chi-rho, stands for the first two letters of Christ in Greek. It is the reason that Christmas can be abbreviated as X-mas.
