==History==
[[Falaknuma]] is a [[UNSC]] colony within the system. 18 Scorpii also saw in [[2535]] [[Exodus Project|a large asteroid]] led by the {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}} loaded with over a million refugees from behind Covenant lines.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 343''</ref> It was also the site of a [[Battle of 18 Scorpii|minor engagement]] between UNSC and Covenant forces in [[2543]], in which UNSC forces were saved by a surprise force of independent/[[Insurrectionist]] ships.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.

==Trivia==
*18 Scorpii was identified in September 2003 by astrobiologist Margaret Turnbull from the University of Arizona in Tucson as one of the most promising nearby candidates for hosting life based on her analysis of the HabCat list of stars,<ref name="wp"/> but no planets have yet been confirmed to orbit the real-life star.
*Cayrel de Strobel (1996) included it in her review of the stars most similar to the Sun, and Porto de Mello & da Silva (1997) identified it as a solar twin.
