Coral is a Human planet in a system 42 lightyears from Earth.[1] Though some have theorized that this refers to the star HD 69830, which happens to be exactly 42 lightyears away in the constellation Puppis, the Bestiarum clarifies the system to in fact be home to the Jackal home-system.
At an unknown date, a Coral mining operation uncovered the tip of a Forerunner installation. The miners used explosives to evaporate a depth of 30 meters, except for the tip of the installation, which wasn't even scorched. Archaeologists funded by ONI were able to dig out about eighty meters of the complex, which seems to be much bigger. The complex has been described as made from metallic crystal, symmetrical to a near-atomic scale, yet adorned with decorative artistic motifs.[2]
In the latter half of 2552, it was reported that Coral had been glassed by the Covenant.[3] What the Covenant did with the Forerunner installation is unknown.
