The planet was an UNSC outer colony prior to the Human-Covenant War with Scyllion being its capital. As the war escalated martial law was declared in 2533 and led to Insurrectionist rioting in the capital the following year. The colony was destroyed shortly after by the Covenant.[1]
A joint ONI and UNSC Navy operation to the colony in 2534 was one of then-Lieutenant (J.G.) Jacob Keyes' first assignments. He killed his first human, an Insurrectionist leader, during the riots.[2] He eventualy recalled and lost this memory while infected by the Flood[3]
Trivia
- Charybdis was the daughter of the god Poseidon in Greek mythology. She was a nymph turned into a sea monster resembling a gigantic whirlpool by Zeus. Charybdis' companion sea monster was Scylla.
- On the Halo 3 multiplayer map Orbital, there is an illuminated sign regarding an apparent transport from Charybdis IX that appears to have been 'delayed'. Perhaps this is because the planet was already glassed.
