Chi Rho was a UNSC colony world in the Ectanus 45 system that was 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]
