==Summary==
'''Chi Ceti IV''', referred to by the [[Covenant]] as '''Chelav''',{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS9|HSS|Chapter=9}} is a [[human]] [[Outer Colonies|Outer Colony]] in the [[Chi Ceti system]], orbited by two [[natural satellite]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P49}} A distant red nebula is visible from the system.{{Ref/Novel|Id=TFoR12|TFoR|Chapter=12}} The planet has a top-secret installation on its surface, the [[Damascus Materials Testing Facility]] in [[Vhalkem]],<ref>[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/07/10/The-Halo-Bulletin-71013.aspx ''The Halo Bulletin 7.10.13'']</ref> where the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|Mark IV MJOLNIR armor]] and the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/EOD variant|MJOLNIR EOD variant]] were developed.{{Ref/Reuse|TFoR12}}{{Ref/Book|Id=ENC94|Enc09|Page=94}}
'''Chi Ceti''' is a Yellow Star, [[7]][[7]] light years from [[Earth]].


==Overview==
===Topography and climate===
Known to be a volatile and treacherous [[planet|world]], Chi Ceti IV is nonetheless habitable for [[human]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P49}} [[Muroto]], one of Chi Ceti IV's two [[Natural satellite|moon]]s,{{Ref/Reuse|VIS220}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P49}} is also habitable and is known to contain certain resources used in the creation of [[data crystal chip]]s.{{Ref/Film|Id=TFoRAS2|TFoRAS|Detail=Act Two}}{{Ref/Map|Id=Shatter|H4|Shatter}}
====Locations====
*[[Vhalkem]]
**[[Damascus Materials Testing Facility]]


The [[Chi Ceti System]] was home to planet Chi Ceti IV, on the very fringes of the outer colonies. The planet has a top-secret installation on its surface, the [[Damascus Testing Facility]]<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 113</ref>, where the [[SPARTAN-IIs]] were upgraded with their refined Mark IV [[MJOLNIR]] armor during the [[Battle of Chi Ceti]]. The facility was abandoned and, it being the only known [[Human]] installation on the planet, it is quite unlikely that the planet was destroyed and glassed by the [[Covenant]] ensuing the evacuation. When the Covenant attacked, the SPARTAN-IIs boarded their ship, and [[Spartan-034|Samuel-034]] died in the process.  
==History==
The [[Mark VI Powered Assault Armor/EOD variant]] was also developed at the Damascus facility in this system.
===Colonization===
Chi Ceti IV was first [[Human colonies|colonized]] by modern humanity in [[2430]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P49}} Sometime thereafter, the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[Materials Group]] established the [[Damascus Materials Testing Facility]] in the region of [[Vhalkem]].{{Ref/Reuse|TFoR12}}


==Trivia==
===Battle of Chi Ceti IV===
*Distant red nebula is visible from the system.  
{{Main|Battle of Chi Ceti}}
On [[2525#November|November 27, 2525]], the [[Covenant]] {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} ''[[Unrelenting]]'' arrived in the [[Chi Ceti system]]. The [[UNSC frigate|frigate]] {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}} drove off the former vessel, though both ships were heavily damaged. ''Commonwealth'' remained in orbit as the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-IIs]] received their [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] from the Damascus Materials Testing Facility.{{Ref/Reuse|TFoR12}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=TFoR13|TFoR|Chapter=13}}
 
Later that day, the Spartans were deployed from the frigate toward a hole that had been blasted into ''Unrelenting''{{'}}s hull in an attempt to destroy the vessel from within. Only three Spartans, [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]], and [[Samuel-034]], arrived at the enemy vessel, which they then boarded. Shortly thereafter, Samuel's armor was damaged, leaving him unable to return to the ''Commonwealth''. He stayed behind and detonated an [[ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile|ANVIL-II missile]], killing himself and destroying ''Unrelenting''.{{Ref/Novel|Id=TFoR14|TFoR|Chapter=14}} When the planet was compromised by the Covenant, the Damascus Testing Facility and a nearby [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] training center were abandoned.{{Ref/Book|Id=ENC298|Enc09|Page=298}}
 
===Return of the Covenant===
A Covenant force returned to the Chi Ceti system in [[2527]] and attacked Chi Ceti IV.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P50}} However, the attackers were either repelled or departed the planet without destroying the Damascus Materials Testing Facility, which was reactivated at a later date.{{Ref/Book|Id=VIS166|H4EVG|Page=166}}
 
===Post-war===
Chi Ceti IV survived the war and continues to support the UNSC, developing several [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR GEN2]] armor variants such as the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Soldier|Soldier]] variant at the Damascus Facility.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS166}} One of the planet's moons, [[Muroto]], is now used for mining purposes by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]].{{Ref/Reuse|VIS220}}
