'''Venus''' is the second planet in orbit around [[Sol]], with no [[natural satellite]]s. Though a terrestrial planet with a dense atmosphere largely composed of [[carbon dioxide]], Venus was once a candidate for [[human]] colonization, and a [[terraforming]] project was initiated on the planet. However, as of some point during or after the late 23rd century, this project was considered a failure.{{Ref/Reuse|mythos}}{{Ref/Note|The ''Halo Mythos'' map which confirms that Venus was the site of a failed terraforming project also contains references to the [[Shaw Institute Facility]], likely named after [[Tobias Fleming Shaw]], and mentions a [[slipstream space|slipspace]] monitoring station on [[Pluto]]. Given that Tobias Shaw was born in [[2220]] and that the 23rd century saw the advent of the first human slipspace technology, this map must be chronologically depicting the Sol system at some point in the late 23rd century or later.}}
'''Venus''' is the second planet in orbit around [[Sol]], with no [[natural satellite]]s. Though a terrestrial planet with a dense atmosphere largely composed of [[carbon dioxide]], Venus was once a candidate for [[human]] colonization. At some point following [[2080]], humans initiated a [[terraforming]] project on Venus in an effort to colonize the planet, though the project ultimately failed.<ref name="mythos"/><ref group="note">In ''Halo: Silent Storm'', Avery Johnson mentioned that a possible consequence of defying an ONI admiral was "guarding snowballs on Venus." Although clearly an exaggeration, it runs contrary to the planet's traditionally-hot surface temperature, hinting that a terraforming project succeeded in rendering the planet more suitable for human habitation.</ref>
 
On [[2526|March 7, 2526]], when approached about taking part in [[Operation: SILENT STORM]], [[Avery Johnson]] mused that if he turned down the assignment, his next one would likely be "guarding snowballs on Venus".{{Ref/Novel|SiSto|4|Pg=62}}
