Algolis is a former human colony planet in the Algol system.[1] It is known to possess at least two moons.[2] The planet housed a relatively small civilian population and was home to some of the Office of Naval Intelligence's research and development projects for prototype weapons, including the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I ADS.[3]

Human-Covenant war
The Office of Naval Intelligence's Section Three had facilities on the planet, to which several SPARTAN-II augmentation chemical precursors were sent without Dr. Catherine Halsey's consent, likely in order to be researched for Project CHRYSANTHEMUM.[7]
Algolis Invasion
- Main article: Algolis Invasion
The colony was attacked by the Covenant in 2549,[1] some time prior to March 28.[Note 1] During the battle, the planet's civilians were evacuated while Marines from the UNSC Marine Corps of Engineers made a last stand against Covenant forces. The UNSC destroyer UNSC The Heart of Midlothian was en route to the planet to secure a powered armor before the facility was attacked. The planet's survivors escaped in transport ships to a UNSC frigate in orbit that carried them to safety.[8][4] The battle also resulted in the formation of the Banished as well.[9] Overall, it's unknown what happened to the colony following the battle,[3] though it evidently went un-glassed by the Covenant.[1]
