Suban is one of the two massive natural satellites of Sanghelios, along with Qikost.[1] Suban is reddish in color[4] and is referred to as the "blood-moon of Sanghelios".[5] The large size of both Suban and Qikost have great effects of the tides on Sanghelios.[6]
Overview
Topography and ecology
Suban is home to large Sangheili population centers, major industrial sites, and many significant armories.[7]
The crystalline, raw material blamite, used in the ammunition of the Type-33 Needler and the Type-31 needle rifle, is mined from Suban.[8] Veins of blamite are found throughout the moon's interior. Suban is the only known location of the material.[9] Indigenous life includes qoerith slugs.[10]

History
Post-war
After the beginning of the Blooding Years, a large portion of Sanghelios' population fled to Suban, Qikost, and other Sangheili colonies for refuge.[7]
After the start of the The Reclamation, the UNSC Infinity set up a brief rendezvous on the far side of Suban with the remaining UNSC forces on the planet. Using the Pelican recovered from Genesis, they were able to reach Infinity in time.[11]
