Rumour has it that that's where [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] took [[Spartan-087]], while she was sedated for healing on the ship [[Ascendant Justice/Gettysburg]] where they will meet up with [[Chief Petty Officer Mendez|Chief Mendez]] who is possibly training the [[Spartans|Spartan IIIs]]. |

| ==Overview==
| | [[Category:Places]] |
| ===Known residents===
| |
| *[[Kamal Zaman]] - Medical school graduate
| |
| *[[Sophia Bossedon]] - College student
| |
| *[[Sandra Tillson]] - [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] scientist/[[civilian]] contractor

| | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===Coral mining operation===
| |
| At an unknown date, a Coral mining operation uncovered the tip of a Forerunner installation. The miners used explosives to excavate a depth of 30 meters, uncovering the undamaged tip of the installation. An [[Xenoarchaeology|archaeological]] [[Orion Archaeological Expedition|expedition]] overseen by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] was able to dig out about eighty meters of the complex, which seems to be even more expansive. The complex has been described as made from metallic crystal, symmetrical to a near-atomic scale, and adorned with decorative artistic motifs.{{Ref/Game|[[Halo 2 Limited Collector's Edition]]|Detail=[[Conversations from the Universe]]}}
| |
| | |
| ===Human-Covenant war===
| |
| Though the details are unknown, [[Taylor H. Miles]] reports having taken part in an engagement in the Coral [[asteroid]] belt.<ref>''[[Halo 3: ODST Pre-mission Evaluation]]'' - Dutch Interview</ref>
| |
| | |
| In late September of [[2552]], it was reported that Coral had been attacked by the [[Covenant]].<ref>''I love bees'', [[Axon Clips]], [[Axon Clips Chapter 8|Chapter 8]] - Kamal: "Coral is Gone"</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Post-war===
| |
| Following the Covenant War, Dr. [[William Iqbal]] suggested reexamining the items, data and images from sites on Coral with the new context gained from the discovery of the [[Halo Array]].<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions]]'', [[From the Office of Dr. William Arthur Iqbal]]</ref>

| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The only known residents of Coral, Kamal and Sophia, speak about their families forbidding them to eat pork. In addition, Kamal's surname (Zaman) is common in peoples of Muslim descent. Therefore, it is quite possible that Coral had a significant Muslim population.
| |
| *The ''Halo'' novel ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'' had a working title of "Ghosts of Coral". This led to a great deal of speculation about Coral and its background. However, it turned out to be unrelated.
