The surface of the world is made of red rocks and sand. Orange dust permeate the sky and had a faint yellow sun, [[85 Pegasi-194A]].<ref name="GOO13">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 13''</ref> It had seas that were unusually rich in [[deuterium]] and [[tritium]], which the [[Covenant]] used in their [[Pinch fusion reactor|plasma reactors]].<ref name="GOO15">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 15''</ref> | ||

During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Covenant forces | During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Covenant forces constructed 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 name="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. | The UNSC tried many times to neutralize the refinery, including using [[nuclear weapon]]s launched from [[Slipstream space|slipspace]].

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 296 out of the 298 deployed 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 [[SPARTAN-III|Spartans]], was so shocked from the incident that she lost her ability to speak; she was later diagnosed with [[post-traumatic vocal disarticulation]].<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 27''</ref> | ||

"Pegasi Delta" is the UNSC designation for the Covenant planet. It is likely that the Covenant had their own name or designation for it, unrelated to that used by the UNSC. | |||
