The '''Tiara''' was a space station in equatorial geosynchronous orbit around the planet [[Harvest]]. Constructed the earliest in [[2468]] (when Harvest was founded), it was linked to the [[List of "Seven" references in Halo|seven]] [[space elevator|space elevators]] servicing the colonies capital city of [[Utgard]], and functioned as an orbital port for passenger and cargo transport, as well as the site of Harvest's shipping [[AI]], [[Sif]]'s data centers.

Tiara is described as being two arcs separated by the carbon nano-fiber strands that made up the space elevators of Harvest. The beamwork connecting the two looked like delicate filigree. Six beveled titanium spars ran the length of the facility. [[Avery Johnson]] estimated the station was about 4 kilometers long and it's interior around 300 meters in diameter (13,200 and 990 feet, respectively)<ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]] pg. 66</ref>. It possessed some form of artificial gravity (presumably operated by centrifugal force, as [[Covenant]] artificial gravity technology had not been deciphered until the 2550s<ref>[[Halo: Fall of Reach]] pg. ??</ref>).
