The planet's equator is covered by an immense forest of spiny, vine-like trees.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Its native wildlife includes the ''[[Eiyaa-Mahtuhaa]]'', a species of large, presumably carnivorous, quadrupedal creatures; several specimens of these creatures were kept at the UNSC facility located on the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|h4}}

==History==
==History==
The planet's atmospheric composition makes Erebus VII habitable for [[human]]s, though extremely hostile indigenous wildlife has prevented the world from becoming a viable candidate for full colonization. Additionally, the interference of the [[UNSC]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] have also prevented the consideration; ONI has established numerous facilities on the planet, though their research goals have remained unannounced.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

In [[2557]], ONI lost contact with its research teams and the planet's facilities were left abandoned. Several [[remote contact team]]s were sent to determine the cause of contact loss, but they only found empty laboratories and were unable to determine the location of its staff. Research on Erebus VII has since been suspended by the Office of Naval Intelligence, and there is no plans to commit new resources.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} A [[War Games]] simulation of the abandoned facility was later used by {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IV]] complement for training.{{Ref/Map|Id=h4|H4|[[Abandon]]}} The scientists had been studying the [[Eiyaa-Mahtuhaa|anglers]] that inhabited the planet and captured a nest of very young juveniles. The anglers proved to be an intelligent species and started hunting them in turn. At that point, the scientists performed horrible experiments on the captured juveniles. In one night, the scientists lost dozens of people to the anglers in a coordinated attack. Using their light and mimicry, the anglers lured the survivors in and killed many of them until they realized that the humans were no longer falling for it and moved on to systematically removing and destroying their satellite uplinks, comms stations and power cores. A few months later, the ONI teams showed up and became the target of the anglers.{{Ref/Novel|PoL|Chapter=32}}

In [[2558#August|August 2558]], [[Rion Forge]] was sent to Erebus VII through a [[slipspace portal]] from [[Installation 07]]. After getting captured by the [[angler]]s, Rion was rescued by the survivors on an ONI team that had been investigating the disappearance of the researchers and the two surviving researchers that they had found who explained what had happened to them. After retrieving the third piece of the [[coordinate key]] from a Forerunner way station on [[New Carthage]], [[343 Guilty Spark]] was led to Erebus VII where he rescued Rion, the survivors she'd found and four more located elsewhere on the planet. The ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' then delivered the survivors of Erebus VII to a mining outpost in a nearby star system. Spark later suggested that the anglers may have been seeded on Erebus VII, designed or modified, to dissuade visitors to the planet and to protect the Forerunner site there.
 
After dropping off the survivors, Spark and Rion returned to Erebus VII and used the completed [[coordinate key]] on a terminal in the Forerunner facility. The [[Precept]] appeared and tested Rion. Upon being satisfied, he imbued the coordinate key with the coordinates to a portal to [[Bastion]] and access permissions for Spark and Rion.{{Ref/Novel|PoL}}
 
==Trivia==
In [[List of references to Greek mythology in the Halo series|Greek mythology]], [[Wikipedia:Erebus|Erebus]] is the personification of darkness. The word can also be used to refer specifically to the darkness of the [[Wikipedia:Greek underworld|Underworld]], the Underworld itself, or a specific region of the Underworld.
