The '''Epoloch system''' is a planetary system within the [[Forerunner]] [[ecumene]]. It was the location of the [[shield world]] known as [[Requiem]], the home of the [[Promethean]] [[Warrior-Servant]]s, which was the second astronomical body in the system.<ref name="DK H4TEVG">[http://www.dk.co.uk/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,9781409334828,00.html '''DK Publising''' - ''Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide'' '''Preview''']</ref>
 
==History==
At the end of the [[Requiem Campaign]] in [[2558|February 2558]], [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] leader [[Jul 'Mdama]] sent Requiem on a collision course with the star in an attempt to destroy the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} and her crew. Though ''Infinity'' escaped and returned to [[Earth]], the shield world was consumed by Epoloch's immense heat and gravity. As part of Requiem's native [[Flood]] containment measure and total failure of local plasma shell containment systems,<ref>[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2994218_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post2994218 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Catalog Interaction'' (post 2994218)]</ref> Epoloch violently imploded on itself moments later in a [[supernova]]-level event.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''[[S1/Exodus|Season One - Exodus]] epilogue cutscene''</ref>
 
==Trivia==
Epoloch is shown to be blue-white in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Halo (Halo 3 level)#Epilogue|Legendary ending]] as well as in the ''Halo 4'' main menu and the campaign level ''[[Dawn]]''; however, when Requiem is plunged into the star in ''[[Spartan Ops]]'', it is depicted as being yellow. Epoloch is also yellow-orange in the [[Halo: Escalation Issue 1|first issue]] of ''[[Halo: Escalation]]'', in which the star is also shown as being disproportionately small.
