The '''Epsilon Indi system''' was the system that the [[Human]] colony world of [[Harvest]] was in. Described as being approximately six weeks away from the nearest human colony [[Madrigal]], and a little more than two months from [[Reach]]. The system was first colonized in [[2468]]. There was one habitable planet in the system.<ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]], page 32</ref> ''[[Sif]]'', an [[AI]] that operates all of Harvest's orbital elevators, often wonders why humans colonized this world. The reason is that Epsilon Indi was more than a little out of the way, but the only answer that she could come up with was Harvest.

All were in close orbit. It was briefly occupied by the [[UNSC]] around [[2525]] and was a new colony at that time. The UNSC established a population of three million citizens and an orbital platform orbiting the planet, but it was still considered to be on the frontier of explored space. | ||
In 2525, the [[Covenant]] sent a ship into the system. It was the Human's first contact with the Covenant and the Covenant [[glassed]] Harvest.
