Chiron is a UNSC space station orbiting Mars. The platform is known for its extreme-conditions facility, where SPARTAN-II Li-008 underwent extensive training with microgravity equipment and martial arts.[1]

Trivia

  • Chiron station is a reference to Chiron TL-34, a multiplayer map in Halo: Combat Evolved
  • Chiron is also one of the few noble centaurs who trained Achilles in Greek Mythology. This could also be a reference as the Spartans were believed to have been near invincible, as was Achilles, although Achilles' only weak spot was his ankle, the so-called "Achilles Heel."
