Basis is the largest moon orbiting the planet Threshold in the Soell system.[1] The diameter of this moon is 23,848km (14,818 miles)[2], double that of Earth, but the gravity meter is the same though. Installation 04 was positioned between Basis and Threshold.[1] After Installation 04's destruction, the Covenant Heretics built a makeshift camp on Basis, amid the wreckage from the Alpha Halo.[3]
The atmosphere of the moon beholds a sundown-modeled appearance, with hazy clouds and an orange skyline.
