The stars planetary system was controlled by the Covenant during 2545[2], and was home to 51 Pegasi-B and Pegasi Delta, used by the Covenant in mining deuterium and tritium in the planetoids rich oceans.

51 Pegasi was the very first main sequence (sun-like) star discovered to have a planet in orbit around it.
