Faun Hakkor

Faun Hakkor is a planet in the Charum Hakkor system, which was once settled by ancient space-faring humans. It shares its system with Charum Hakkor, Ben Nauk and twelve other planets.

The Pheru were an animal species indigenous to the planet, and were popular amongst humans and San'Shyuum as pets. It was also home to a type of semi-sentient tree, forests of which covered the planet. The trees had acquired a form of long-term intelligence, using insects, viruses, bacteria, and fungi as carriers of genetic and hormonal signals in order to communicate with each other over centuries.

Around 100,043 BCE, the system was the test site for Installation 07, one of the twelve original Halo rings. The Halo was set to a low power setting, but still managed to kill every organism with a nervous system on the planet, the sentient trees included; all that remained were primitive organisms such as mosses, fungi and algae. The planet then went into a state of gradual ecological collapse.
