Turul



Turul is the smaller of the two natural satellites of the UNSC colony world, Reach, the larger one being Csodaszarvas. Turul appears to have a barren, cratered surface, and is barely symmetrical. The moon was captured into Reach's orbit fairly recently, approximately 70-80 thousand years ago. Thus, Turul was not in Reach's orbit when the Forerunners inhabited the planet. Sometime prior to the Fall of Reach Ensign William Lovell noticed heavy EM activity bouncing off of Turul.

Trivia

 * The moon is named after Turul, the most important mythological bird in the origin myth of the Hungarian people.
 * Lee Wilson jokingly commented the following about Jorge-052: "I believe Jorge was born under a rising Turul which often made him grumpy on Mondays... ".
