'''Substance''' is the name of the greenish-blue gas giant around which [[Installation 05]] orbits. While not named during the game, the file containing the planet's graphics was found to be named "Substance." Similarly, there was a file called "[[Threshold]] and [[Basis]]" in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]. It is unknown if there is a gas mine on Substance like [[Threshold]], though it is probable. It may be similar to the planet Uranus due to it's color.<ref>http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive24.pl?read=700986</ref>
'''Substance''', also referred to as '''Coelest IV'''<ref name="lootcrate8">'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''', ''[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #8]]''</ref>, is a blue-white ice giant in the [[Coelest system]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P346}}{{Ref/Reuse|evg}} It is the fourth planet in the system and is the planet which [[Installation 05]] orbits.<ref name="evg">'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 190''</ref>{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P346}} Substance is orbited by eight satellites, only one of which, [[Opusculus]], is a natural [[moon]]. The rest include Installation 05, and six dormant [[Forerunner]] facilities on predetermined orbital paths.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P346}}{{Ref/Reuse|evg}} An [[asteroid]] field is located close to Substance at 2.4 AU from Coelest.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 189''</ref>


[[Image:D-Halo.jpg|thumb|Installation 05 and Substance.]]
Unlike on [[Installation 04]], where its parent planet [[Threshold]] could be seen quite clearly, especially at night,<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]''</ref> on Installation 05, Substance is very difficult to see in the sky of Installation 05. In fact, in none of the locations on this ring seen by [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces (namely the [[Control Room (Installation 05)|Control Room]], the [[Library]], and various ruined structures) can the planet be seen. This is due to the Delta Halo's stormy weather conditions caused by a [[Flood]] outbreak that occurred some two centuries before the [[Battle of Installation 05]].{{Ref/Reuse|evg}} During the [[Great Schism]] that began on Installation 05, [[Sangheili]] and [[Jiralhanae]] vessels battled each other over Substance.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 199''</ref>
Unlike on [[Installation 04]] where you can see [[Threshold]] quite clearly (especially on the Halo: Combat Evolved level The [[Truth and Reconciliation (Level)|Truth and Reconciliation]]), on Installation 05, Substance is very hard to see in the sky, indeed, in none of the levels in [[Halo 2]] except for the cutscenes can you see the planet.


It is very likely that Substance is host to a Gas Mining Facility similar to the one found on Threshold. The two planets are very similar, and they both are honored with the presence of their own [[Halos]]. Substance is only featured in [[Halo 2]] and [[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]].
Weeks after the battle and the subsequent [[Fall of High Charity]], the {{UNSCShip|Coral Sea}} picked up [[Alo Sebukah|a dying San'Shyuum]] aboard a skiff drifting in a debris field irregularly orbiting Substance.<ref name="lootcrate8">'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''', ''[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #8]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*Substance seems to only appear on some [[multi-player]] maps of [[Halo 2]], such as Quaratine Zone.
*While not named during ''Halo 2'', the file containing the planet's graphics were found to be named "Substance". Similarly, there was a file called "[[Threshold]] and [[Basis]]" in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.<ref>[http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive24.pl?read=700986 '''halo.bungie.org''': ''Re: Halo Wikipedia entry improvement questions'']</ref> The planet was first officially identified in ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''.
*The ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'' incorrectly states that [[Installation 04]] orbits Substance. This error was not corrected in the 2011 edition.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 185''</ref>
