Jericho VII, also known as Eremus,[1] was a lightly populated human colony world located in the Lambda Serpentis system.

Natural satellites included four silver-colored moons.[2] Jameson Locke[3] and Owen-B096[4] were born on the planet.
History
In 2525, Spartan-IIs were dispatched to Jericho VII to suppress rebel factions on the planet.[5] Around the same time, Orbital Drop Shock Troopers were also sent to put down Insurrection forces and remained on Jericho VII for over 131 days.[6]
During the Human-Covenant War, Jericho VII was found and attacked by the Covenant as early as 2532.[7] The planet was glassed via orbital bombardment in the final stages of the Battle of Jericho VII in 2535. At the end of the battle, John-117 asked Captain De Blanc for permission to watch Jericho VII being glassed. A large number of orphans from this planet enlisted for the SPARTAN-III program, among them Owen-B096.[4] Five years following the planet's fall, UNSC forces returned to the planet in Operation: GUARDIAN LANCE and recovered several Covenant artifacts that would later be studied in SWORD Base on Reach.[8]
Prior to the Battle of Jericho VII, the planet had been known as the sole producer of Alt Burgundy, a fine alcoholic beverage.[9]
