| The '''Lambda Serpentis system''' is a planetary system known colloquially as '''Jericho'''. Lambda Serpentis was formerly the location of at least one of the [[human]]ity's [[Human colonies|colonies]], [[Jericho VII]].<ref name="forp">''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', Prologue</ref> | | The '''Lambda Serpentis System''' is a star system in the constellation Serpens. It is 38.3 light years from the [[Sol System]] and was formerly a part of the [[UNSC]]'s outer colonies. At least one planet in the system was colonized by [[humans]] at one time: the planet [[Jericho VII]]. |

| ==History==
| | In [[2552]], a [[Fleet]] of Covenant ships was ordered to go to the Lambda Serpentis system to collect [[Tritium]] gas for their reactors in preparation to rendezvous with the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'' and mass [[Slipspace]] jump to [[Earth]], indicating that the system is now home to a Covenant refueling station at the very least.<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', page 198</ref> As such, it is one of few [[UNSC]] systems not entirely [[glassed]] and actually inhabited by the [[Covenant]]. |
| In [[2535]], the [[Covenant]] invaded the system and attacked the [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] of [[Jericho VII]]. Even though the [[United Nations Space Command]] deployed [[Spartan-II]]s to help [[Battle of Jericho VII|defend Jericho VII]], the human defenses were overwhelmed and the Covenant [[Glassing|glassed]] the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|forp}} | |
| | |
| Around September [[2552]], a massive [[Truth's fleet|fleet]] of Covenant [[warship]]s was ordered to travel to the Lambda Serpentis system to collect [[tritium]] gas for their reactors in preparation to rendezvous with ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'' at the [[Hawking system]] before embarking on a mass [[slipspace]] jump to [[Earth]] in the [[Sol system]].<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', Chapter 21</ref>

| ==Trivia==
| |
| ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' erroneously describes the system as having two reddish suns. This may indicate that the Jericho and Lambda Serpentis systems were not originally intended to be synonymous.{{Ref/Reuse|forp}}
