| ===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>
| | '''Coral''' is a [[Human]] occupied colony in a system 42 light-years from [[Earth]].<ref>[[Media:Four_goats.ogg|four_goats.ogg]]</ref> It presumably orbits the star [[wikipedia:HD 40307|HD 40307]], which is known to possess three large "Super-Earth" planets. |

| ===Post-war===
| | 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. Archaeologists in the employ of [[ONI]] were 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>[[Conversations from the Universe]]</ref> |
| 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>
| | |
| | In late September of [[2552]], it was reported that Coral had been [[Glassing|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]]. The fate of the Forerunner installation remains unknown.<ref>[[Media:they_got_it.ogg|they_got_it.ogg]]</ref> |

| *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|''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. |
