'''Pegasi Delta''' is a small world in the [[51 Pegasi System]]. The surface of the planet was made of red rocks and sand. Orange dust permeated the sky and&nbsp;had a faint yellow sun, [[85 Pegasi-194A ]] around which the world orbited.<ref name="GOO13"/><ref name="GOO13">[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] page 13</ref> It had seas that were unusually rich in [[Deuterium]] and [[Tritium]]&nbsp;which the [[Covenant]]&nbsp;used in their plasma reactors, and it was used to refuel their ships. <ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] page 15</ref> 

==History==
During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Covenant forces constructed a massive refinery on Pegasi Delta. With its close proximity to [[UNSC]] space, Pegasi Delta became a massive forward resupply and refueling line for the Covenant ships making incursions in UNSC space.<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] page 15</ref>

The UNSC&nbsp;tried many times to neutralize the refinery, using nukes dropped from slipspace. However, the plutonium that lined the nukes let off an aura of [[Cherenkov radiation]] upon reentering normal space, which therefore made the nukes stealth coatings useless. The Covenant easily found and destroyed the nukes.&nbsp; Similarly, there were too many Covenant ships near the planets&nbsp;moon to send a slow, distantly launched nuke. Neither a regular invasion force or [[Helljumpers]] were worth the attempt.

In [[2545]], the UNSC sent in 300 [[Spartan-III]] super-soldiers from Beta Company to destroy the refinery in [[Operation: TORPEDO]]. They successfully destroyed the refinery, crippling the Covenant supply lines, but came out with the death of 298 out of the 300 Spartans of [[Beta Company]]. <ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] page 27</ref> Because of this, [[Lucy-B091]], one of the two surviving [[SPARTAN-III|Spartans]], was so shocked from the incident that she became mute and could not (or chose not to) speak anymore.

==Known locations==
*[[Target Area Apache]]

==Trivia==
*''Pegasi Delta'' is the UNSC designation for the Covenant colony. It is likely that the Covenant had their own name or designation for it, unrelated to that used by the [[UNSC]].
*[[Tom-B292]] and [[Lucy-B091]] were the only two Spartans that survived the explosion.

-During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Covenant forces operated a massive refinery on Pegasi Delta, used to extract the deuterium and tritium from the moon's oceans in order to obtain fuel for their ships. With its close proximity to [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] space, Pegasi Delta became a massive forward resupply and refueling line for the Covenant ships making incursions in UNSC space.{{Ref/Reuse|GOO15}}

-The UNSC tried many times to neutralize the refinery, including using [[nuclear weapon]]s launched from [[Slipstream space|slipspace]]. However, the [[plutonium]] linings of the weapons let off an aura of [[Čerenkov radiation]] upon reentering normal space, which therefore made their [[Stealth ablative coating|stealth coatings]] useless. The Covenant easily found and destroyed them. Similarly, there were too many Covenant ships near the planet's moon to send a slow, distantly-launched weapon, a regular invasion force or even [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s.

They successfully destroyed the refinery by overloading and destroying the reactor causing a massive explosion, crippling the Covenant supply lines, but came out with the apparent death of 298 out of the 300 Spartans of Beta Company. The explosion also destroyed seven Covenant cruisers that were docked over the factory. Because of this, [[Lucy-B091]], one of the two surviving Spartans, was so shocked from the incident that she lost her ability to speak; she was later diagnosed with [[posttraumatic vocal disarticulation]].<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 27''</ref>
