| ==History==
| |
| ===Colonization===
| |
| In [[2446]], the [[Unified Earth Government]] settled on the planet of [[Falaknuma]] in the system.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=50-51}}

| ===Covenant War===
| |
| In [[2535]], 18 Scorpii was the chosen destination for the [[Exodus Project]] - a plan created by the inhabitants of the [[Rubble]] to convert [[Habitat Exodus|an asteroid]] for use as a "lifeboat" to evacuate over a million refugees in the event their base was attacked by the [[Covenant]]. During the [[Battle of the Rubble]], the asteroid was escorted to 18 Scorpii by {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}}. On approach, UNSC forces in the system suspected in the approaching mass to be a large Cvoeannt armada - though the emergence of the asteroid soon proved these fears false. The refugees on the asteroid were promptly rescued and settled on Falaknuma, with the asteroid disintegrating soon after.{{Ref/Reuse|HTCPC70}}

| In [[2543]], 18 Scorpii was the site of [[Battle of 18 Scorpii|an engagement]] between UNSC and Covenant naval forces, with the three ships of [[Battle Group Sierra-3]] taking on a single Covenant {{Pattern|Sinaris|heavy destroyer}}. The UNSC forces were almost destroyed in the battle, though saved by the timely intervention of an [[insurrectionist]] flotilla led by the [[UNSC frigate|frigate]] [[Bellicose|''Bellerophon'']].{{Ref/Reuse|HETILATPDOPJCS7}} The fending off of this attack was successful, and Falaknuma survived the war entirely unscathed by the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
