Requiem, formerly the main planetary body in the Epoloch system.

The Epoloch system is a planetary system in an unknown region of space within the Forerunner ecumene. It was the location of the shield world known as Requiem, the home of the Promethean Warrior-Servants.[1] At the end of the Second Battle of Requiem in February 2558, Covenant leader Jul 'Mdama sent Requiem on a collision course with the star in an attempt to destroy the UNSC Infinity and her crew. Though Infinity escaped and returned to Earth, the shield world was consumed by Epoloch's immense heat and gravity.[2]
