'''Viperidae''' was a gas giant in the [[Psi Serpentis system]]. Red in color, the planet's tightly compressed atmosphere consisted of [[helium]] and [[hydrogen]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]", ''page 338''</ref> Its mass was thirteen times that of [[Jupiter]]. Viperidae's gravity was nearly able to crush and fuse the hydrogen in its atmosphere.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole", ''page 329''</ref>

==History==
==History==
Viperidae was the location of Admiral [[Preston Cole]]'s "[[Battle of Psi Serpentis|Last Stand]]." [[Battlegroup India]] engaged a massive [[Covenant]] [[Covenant fleet|armada]] in orbit. The planet was destroyed by the one hundred [[Shiva-class nuclear missile]]s Cole launched onto its surface, igniting the super-pressurized hydrogen in its atmosphere and briefly turning the gas giant into a brown dwarf. The nuclear blast that followed obliterated the entire [[Covenant]] fleet, well over 300 ships, and led to the presumed death of Preston Cole.
