The Cygnus system is a Unified Earth Government planetary system in the Outer Colonies, and is situated 24 light-years from Biko.[1]
Within its system are two human-colonized worlds, one of which is Cygnus, Chyler Silva's birthplace.[2] The other human colony is New Jerusalem, the home of ONI operative Jilan al-Cygni.[3] They are the second and third planets in orbit around the star Cygnus, respectively.[4]
Production notes[edit]
In the Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition), the Cygnus system is listed as being synonymous with the Gliese 777 system. Gliese 777 is a binary star system consisting of a yellow subgiant and a red dwarf, located 52 light years away from Sol. It is part of the Cygnus constellation, hence the system's in-universe name.[5]
