==Overview==
[[File:HO Edge Waterfalls.jpg|thumb|A canyon and waterfalls on Partition.]]
===Topography and ecology===
The planet featured jungles with exotic flora and fauna.{{Ref/Reuse|hotdrop}} Another part of the planet featured a canyon with lakes, [[water|waterfalls]] and a river flowing through it, overlooked by a Forerunner data archive.{{Ref/Map|H3|Edge}}

==History==
===Ancient history===
The [[Forerunner]]s at one point built a data archival site on the planet.{{Ref/Site|Id=hotdrop|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/hot-drops|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Hot Drops|D=25|M=5|Y=2023}}

===Human-Covenant war===
While this planet bordered on [[UEG]] trade routes, it remained undetected for centuries. Sometime during the [[Human-Covenant War]], the {{UNSCShip|Diadochi}} crash-landed on this planet. The survivors lived amongst the ruins of the ship for years until rescue teams finally discovered them, in a thriving community.{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg212}}{{Ref/Site|Id=Guide|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/maps|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Maps: Exile|D=25|M=04|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Maps}}

The planet was eventually named "Partition" in a nod to [[Earth]]'s [[Diadochi conflicts]]. At some point a [[War Games]] simulation of the Diadochi crash site, called [[Exile]], was created.{{Ref/Book|Id=h4evg212|H4EVG|Page=212}} Eventually, the data archival site was found and began to be studied, hoping to shift human understanding in Forerunner technology.{{Ref/Reuse|hotdrop}}

==Production notes==
Partition is the setting for the ''[[Halo 4]]'' multiplayer map [[Exile]]. The now-cancelled ''[[Halo Online]]'' set the map [[Edge]] on the planet, with the map hosting a [[Forerunner]] databank amidst a verdant series of grasslands, canyons and waterfalls. Due to the game's cancellation, any story or lore from that game isn't considered canon.

The map Edge is now being brought back to the ''[[Halo 3]]'' component of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' with added lore.
