This system was inhabited by a significant Covenant presence in 2552, including the refit and repair station Unyielding Hierophant, accompanied by a massive fleet of warships prepared to attack Earth. The station was destroyed by UNSC forces on September 13, 2552, including the majority of the Covenant fleet.[2]
Postwar[edit]
By November 13, 2559, a Covenant remnant group was performing a salvage operation in the system. The UNSC From the Ashes was assigned to recon the operation.[3]
