'''Algolis''' | '''Algolis''' was a human colony in the [[Wikipedia:Algol|Algol]] binary system. The planet possessed a single moon. Algolis housed a relatively small [[civilian]] population and was home to some of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s research and development projects for prototype weapons, including the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I ADS]].<ref name="waypoint">[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us#/intel/theuniverse/locations/gallery/algolis/c37d512a-eed7-44c0-bc3b-eb5b362b3160?filter=all '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Algolis''] (defunct, backup on [https://web.archive.org/web/20110310163234/http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/theuniverse/locations/gallery/algolis/c37d512a-eed7-44c0-bc3b-eb5b362b3160 Archive.org])</ref> | ||
== | ==History== | ||
The Office of Naval Intelligence's [[Office of Naval Intelligence#Section Three|Section Three]] had facilities on the planet, to which several [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures|SPARTAN-II augmentation]] chemical precursors were sent without [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey's]] consent, likely in order to be researched for [[Project CHRYSANTHEMUM]].<ref>''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]''</ref> | |||

The colony was attacked by the [[Covenant]] at some time between [[2548]] and [[2552]],<ref>See [[Battle of Algolis#Note|here]].</ref> During the [[Battle of Algolis|battle]], the planet's civilians were evacuated while [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] from the [[UNSC Marine Corps of Engineers]] made a last stand against Covenant forces. The [[Halberd-class destroyer|UNSC destroyer]] {{UNSCShip|Heart of Midlothian}} was en route to the planet to secure the prototypical HRUNTING/[[Project YGGDRASIL|YGGDRASIL]] powered armor from [[Weapons Research Facility T12A]] before the facility was attacked. All Covenant forces seemingly perished in the attack when a Marine sergeant known as "[[Ghost (Marine)|Ghost]]" detonated the powered armor's nuclear self-destruct device.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian''</ref><ref>'''Halo Legends''': ''Prototype''</ref> | |||
Algolis' ultimate fate is unknown, as it was not [[Glassing|glassed]] during the battle. However, assuming that the entire human presence evacuated in the aftermath of the battle, the planet may have been spared from total destruction. | |||
