A [[UNSC]] colony world, little has been revealed about this planet, but it is the location of the [[Luxor Spaceport]] and [[Elysium City]], where [[John-117]] grew up until he was abducted and sent into the [[Spartan program]] in [[2517]]. It is also to be noted that it is a place of much hostility against the [[UNSC]], as [[Dr. Halsey]] stated many pirates and rebels were operating from the system. John later returned there in [[2525]] with the other Spartans aboard the [[destroyer]] [[UNSC Pioneer]] to board the cargo freighter Laden and travel to a rebel base, [[Eridanus Secundus]] in the system's asteroid field. | A [[UNSC]] colony world, little has been revealed about this planet, but it is the location of the [[Luxor Spaceport]] and [[Elysium City]], where [[John-117]] grew up until he was abducted and sent into the [[Spartan program]] in [[2517]]. John never met his family after he was abducted and after [[2530]] he would never get the chance because the planet was glassed by the [[Covenant]].

Though there is some debate as to the nature of the planet, there is nothing to actually suggest that Eridanus II was a gas giant; rather there is a separate gas giant in the system that [[Dr. Halsey]] used for a slingshot maneuver on her approach to the planet. She did mention "climate-controlled weather"<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 22</ref>, from which one might infer domed environments, although this does not necessarily suggest a world without a breathable atmosphere. | Though there is some debate as to the nature of the planet, there is nothing to actually suggest that Eridanus II was a gas giant; rather there is a separate gas giant in the system that [[Dr. Halsey]] used for a slingshot maneuver on her approach to the planet.
