Charybdis IX is a planet in the Charybdis System.[1]
Overview
The planet was a UNSC outer colony prior to the Human-Covenant War with Scyllion being its capital. As the war escalated martial law was declared in 2533 and led to Insurrectionist rioting in the capital two years later. The colony was destroyed shortly after by the Covenant.[2]It was also the colony that had "modified" Covenant weapons.
A joint ONI and UNSC Navy operation to the colony in 2535 was one of then-Lieutenant (J.G.) Jacob Keyes' first assignments. He killed his first human, an Insurrectionist leader, during the riots.[3] He eventually recalled and lost this memory while infected by the Proto-Gravemind Flood entity.[4]
Trivia
