| The '''Chi Ceti system''' is a binary star system and a planetary system located in the far reaches of [[human]]-controlled [[Milky Way|space]]. It is home to the planet [[Chi Ceti IV]], which houses the [[Materials Group]]'s [[Damascus Testing Facility]] where the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] was first created.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 102''</ref> A distant red nebula is visible from the system.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 103''</ref>

| | {{Main|Battle of Chi Ceti}} |
| | In [[2525]], the Battle of Chi Ceti was fought here between the {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}} and the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[covenant light cruiser|light cruiser]] ''[[Unrelenting]]''. The facility on Chi Ceti IV was evacuated shortly thereafter, along with the MJOLNIR armor.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 119''</ref> In this battle, the Spartans successfully destroyed the Covenant ship, though [[Samuel-034]] died in the process.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 130''</ref> |

|
| ==Overview==
| | It would appear that the planet was again used for research, as the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/EOD variant]] was developed at X Ceti 4. |
| ===Planetary system===
| |
| *'''[[Chi Ceti IV]]''': A secluded planet and home of the Materials Group's [[Damascus Testing Facility]]. Colony established in [[2430]]{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} and attacked by Covenant forces in [[2527]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=50}}
| |
| **'''[[Kensington]]''': One of two [[natural satellite|moons]] orbiting Chi Ceti IV.{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=49}}
| |
| **'''[[Muroto]]''': One of two moons of Chi Ceti IV with excessive volcanic activity.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}
| |
|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | The colony was one of the first eight to be destroyed by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]], being destroyed sometime in the first four years of the Human-Covenant War. |
| ===Battle of Chi Ceti===
| |
| In [[2525]], the [[Battle of Chi Ceti]] was fought here between the {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}} and the [[Covenant]] warship ''[[Unrelenting]]'', resulting in the first UNSC victory of the war. The facility on Chi Ceti IV was evacuated shortly thereafter, along with the MJOLNIR armor.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 119''</ref> In this battle, the Spartans successfully destroyed the Covenant ship, though [[Samuel-034]] died in the process.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 130''</ref>

|
| ===Human-Covenant War=== | | ==Trivia== |
| Although the system was initially lost to the Covenant,<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''[[Data pads|Data pad 14]]''</ref> Chi Ceti IV continued to be used by the Materials Group for research over the course of the [[Human-Covenant War]]; among several further developments by the Damascus facility was the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/EOD variant|MJOLNIR EOD variant]].
| | *Chi Ceti (aka 53 Ceti) is an actual star system approximately 80 light years from [[Earth]]. |
| | |
| ===Post War===
| |
| The colony survived the Human-Covenant War and continues to support the UNSC by developing several [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR GEN2]] armor variants.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 166''</ref>
