Chi Rho was a human colony world in the Ectanus 45 system. It was one of the worlds said to separate the Inner Colonies from the Outer Colonies. The planet had an Earth-like surface and its largest continent was home to hundreds of millions.[1]
History
In 2535, during the Human-Covenant War, following the loss of most of the Outer Colonies, refugees had started flooding the planet and all available space was being used for victory gardens and refugee camps.[2] Vice Admiral Jean Mawikizi resolved to make a stand against the Covenant on Chi Rho, digging in deep within the planet's crust to survive a glassing attack, forcing the Covenant to come down and flush them out man-to-man.[3]

Trivia
"Chi Rho (XP)" was a symbol used by the early Christian church to abbreviate the name of Jesus Christ. It is formed from the first two letters of the original Greek title Christos:ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ.
