The '''Urs system''', collectively known as the '''Urs–Fied–Joori system'''<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 19|Issue #19]]''</ref> and designated '''CE-80-9012''' by the [[Forerunners]],<ref name="catalog">[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2969315_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post2969315 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Catalog Interaction'' page 14]</ref> is a [[Wikipedia:Star system#Multiple star systems|triple star system]], housing the primary star Urs, and the orbiting stars [[Fied]] and [[Joori]]. Urs is also orbited by a system of several planets, of which the [[Sangheili]] homeworld [[Sanghelios]] is the fourth.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''[[Bestiarum]]''</ref> Sanghelios is located on the innermost edge of the Urs system's habitable zone.<ref name="HE130">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 130''</ref> Formerly under [[Covenant]] control, the system fell under the auspices of the Sangheili after the splintering of the Covenant in the [[Great Schism]]. | |||

==Background== | |||
In pre-Covenant [[Sangheili mythology]], Urs was the ruling chief deity in the pantheon of ancient Sangheili gods. As the largest and most sacred sun in Sanghelios' sky, the god-star Urs was associated with light and fire. He is also the divine father of the demigod hero [[Kel 'Darsam]], whom he transformed into pure light in the ending of the hero's famous [[Ballad of Kel 'Darsam|ballad]]. The Sangheili also believed the dark god Fied roamed the dark [[Hall of Eternity]] with a lantern lit by lord Urs' very own flame.<ref>'''[[Halo: Point of Light]]''', ''page 76''</ref> After adopting the [[Forerunners]] as their new gods, many old Sangheili myths faded away but were never forgotten.<ref>'''[[Halo: Shadow of Intent]]''', ''page 22'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Even well after the Covenant ended, "Until we meet again in Urs' everlasting light" was still a traditional way to say goodbye.<ref>'''Halo: Shadow of Intent''', ''page 83'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | |||
