Cygnus

Cygnus is an Outer Colony world of the Unified Earth Government located in the Cygnus system.

The colony saw heavy fighting between the Insurrectionists and the UNSC during the Insurrection. In the late 2540's, a colony ship traveling to Cygnus suffered a catastrophic slipspace malfunction due to its improperly mounted slipspace drive. When the drive was activated, the ship was cut in half and 700 crew and passengers were killed.

After the war, fetcher Oliver Birch was intending to deliver a "saddle box" slipspace drive to an ONI agent, Steve, on Cygnus.
