==Summary==
'''Eridanus II''' is in the Eridanus Star System.
Eridanus II is an orange gas giant in the [[Eridanus Star System]].


A [[UNSC]] colony world, little has been revealed about this planet, but it is the location of [[Elysium City]], where [[Master Chief|John-117]] grew up until he was abducted and sent into the [[Spartan]] program in 2514. He later returned there in 2525 with the other Spartans aboard the frigate ''[[ Pioneer|UNSC Pioneer]]'' to board the cargo freighter ''[[Laden]]'' and travel to a rebel base, [[Eridanus Secundus]]. They boarded this vessel in the Eridanus II Space docks. The Spartans later returned to the system in 2552 aboard the captured [[Covenant]] flagship ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'', returning to the Rebel base.
A fairly large colony in has a number of population centres including, '''Elysium City''' which is where [[Dr. Halsey]] and [[Jacob Keyes]] found John of the [[Spartans|SPARTAN-II program]].


How there could be a colony on a world without a breathable atmosphere, or even surface, is unknown, though it is possible that the colony consists of floating domed cities or towns in the atmosphere of Eridanus II.  Dr. Halsey mentions "climate-controlled weather" on page 22 of [[Halo:_The_Fall_of_Reach|The Fall of Reach]], suggesting domed environments, a neccesity on a world without a breathable atmosphere.

The colony of the planet was destroyed by the [[Covenant]] in 2530.
