Editing Teller Station

{{Era|HCW}}

'''Teller Station''' was an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] research station and laboratory located in the [[Oort cloud]] of the [[Epsilon Eridani system]]. It was constructed atop [[Site 17]], a planetesimal that contained a [[Forerunner]] site considered to be one of the most promising sites in the whole system. The station's complement included a [[xenoarchaeology]] team including [[Daniels|Dr. Daniels]] and several other scientists, who had spent several years carefully excavating and studying the site, as well as a defense and security force. In the summer of [[2552]], after [[WINTER CONTINGENCY]] had been declared on [[Reach]], the decision was made to withdraw and abandon the station after one final dig. This last dig successfully extracted a [[Site 17 Forerunner object|Forerunner object]] from the site, but also activated several dormant Forerunner systems due to haste. This alerted the [[Covenant]] to the station's location, necessitating the intervention of a [[UNSC]] battlegroup to allow the station's personal to evacuate. This was successfully accomplished, although at the cost of irreplaceable UNSC ships and lives.
