'''Aktis IV''' is the provisional designation for a planet outside of the [[human]] [[Outer Colonies]] in the [[Aktis system]], a system previously uncharted by the [[Unified Earth Government]]. The planet has surface conditions habitable to humans, with the surface of the planet seemingly consisting of a large ocean with scattered island continents. The ocean | '''Aktis IV''' is the provisional designation for a planet outside of the [[human]] [[Outer Colonies]] in the [[Aktis system]], a system previously uncharted by the [[Unified Earth Government]]. The planet has surface conditions habitable to humans, with the surface of the planet seemingly consisting of a large ocean with scattered island continents. The ocean was composed of an opaque, foamy substance that is of unidentified composition, though it is largely impenetrable to radar analysis.<ref name="HE14"/> | ||

Aktis IV was once part of the [[Forerunner]] [[ecumene]]. The Forerunners had left behind some structures and a shrine on the surface of the planet. [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] established a base of operations in the shrine with only a skeleton force to guard the outside. | Aktis IV was once part of the [[Forerunner]] [[ecumene]].

On [[2558#July|July 18, 2558]], {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} was trapped in the Aktis system over the planet while on a survey mission to establish a [[Galileo II|research base]]. Intent on obtaining the other half of the [[Janus Key]], Jul 'Mdama's Covenant used a [[Forerunner]] [[Requiem communication artifact|artifact]] to interfere with the engines of ''Infinity'' to prevent the vessel from leaving the system.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 13|Issue #13]]''</ref> Discovering a potential source of interference on the planet, [[Thomas Lasky|Captain Thomas Lasky]] deployed a recon team consisting of two [[D79-TC Pelican]]s and three [[GA-TL1 Longsword]]s to Aktis IV's surface. The team arrived on a forest island that was located in the northern part of a equatorial archipelago. [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Sarah Palmer]] led [[Fireteam Majestic]] and Spartan [[Naiya Ray]] to the shrine and eliminated the Covenant skeleton force. Once Doctor [[Henry Glassman]] was brought to the island, a Forerunner artifact was found in the structure. Upon discovering that the Janus Key was seemingly compatible with the artifact, Glassman had the UNSC's half of the Key delivered to the island for further research. However, the artifact had been created by 'Mdama and Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]] to bring the other half of the Key to the island. However, 'Mdama's ambush was ruined when [[Sali 'Nyon]] and his [[Sali 'Nyon's Covenant|rogue splinter group]] shot down the UNSC aircraft carrying the Key, and 'Nyon took the UNSC's half for himself | On [[2558#July|July 18, 2558]], {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} was trapped in the Aktis system over the planet while on a survey mission to establish a [[Galileo II|research base]].
