The '''Eridanus System''' is a [[UNSC]] system in the [[Outer Colonies]] where the [[Eridanus Rebels]] based their revolution. It should not be confused with [[Epsilon Eridani]], also a UNSC-controlled star system.

==History==
The rebels had staged a localized rebellion against the UNSC in [[2494]]. The UNSC struck back two years later and forced the rebels out at the cost of four [[UNSC Destroyer|destroyers]]. A large number of rebels survived, however, and under the command of the UNSC turncoat [[Colonel (UNSC)|Colonel]] [[Robert Watts]], overthrew the civilian government of the system in [[2513]]. Watts was presumed killed in the UNSC's counterattack, [[Operation: TREBUCHET]], but in fact he escaped to [[Eridanus Secundus]] in the system's asteroid belt with the rest of the rebels.

It remained a place of much hostility against the [[UNSC]], as [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] stated many pirates and rebels were operating from the system. The boy who would become the legendary [[John-117|Master Chief]] was conscripted here in [[2517]]. In [[2525]], a group of [[SPARTAN-II]]s led by [[John-117]] entered the system aboard the [[UNSC Destroyer|Destroyer]] [[UNSC Pioneer|UNSC ''Pioneer'']]. They boarded the cargo freighter ''[[Laden]]'' and [[Assault on Eridanus Secundus|traveled to the rebel base]] and captured Watts.

The system's main planet, [[Eridanus II]], was [[Battle of Eridanus II|glassed]] by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] in [[2530]] and the UNSC abandoned the system.<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', page 240</ref> However, the asteroid base survived, and the [[SPARTAN]]s later returned to the system in [[2552]] aboard the captured Covenant flagship ''[[Ascendant  Justice|Ascendant Justice]]'', fleeing from the [[Battle of Reach]] to expedite repairs at the Rebel base. However, a Covenant fleet followed and destroyed the base, with only the ''Ascendant Justice'' escaping.

==Settlements==
*[[Eridanus II]] - Birthplace of [[John-117]].
*An unnamed gas giant
*[[Eridanus Secundus]]

==Trivia==
*In the real world, there is no star system by the name "Eridanus". However, a constellation called [[Wikipedia:Eridanus (constellation)|Eridanus]] exists, and it is likely that this system is located around one of the stars within the constellation. Eridanus System is believed by some fans to be the real-life star [[Wikipedia:Eta Eridani|Eta Eridani]], 121 light years away from [[Earth]]. With Human ships being able to cross distances of 2.626 light years per day, it would only take 46 days to reach Eta Eridani. Another possible star, also within the constellation, would be [[Wikipedia:82 Eridani|82 Eridani]], about 20 light-years from Earth.
