Around September [[2552]], a massive [[Truth's fleet|fleet]] of Covenant [[warship]]s was ordered to travel to the Lambda Serpentis system to collect [[tritium]] gas for their reactors in preparation to rendezvous with ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'' at the [[Hawking system]] before embarking on a mass [[slipspace]] jump to [[Earth]] in the [[Sol system]].<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', Chapter 21</ref>


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
Although described as having two reddish suns in ''The Fall of Reach'', the real-world Lambda Serpentis system only has a single, yellow star.
''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' erroneously describes the system as having two reddish suns. This may indicate that the Jericho and Lambda Serpentis systems were not originally intended to be synonymous.{{Ref/Reuse|forp}}
