| | The '''Chi Ceti System''' was a system located in the far reaches of [[UNSC]] space. It was home to the planet [[Chi Ceti IV]]. In [[2525]], the [[Battle of Chi Ceti]] was fought here between the ''[[UNSC Commonwealth]]'' and a [[Covenant]] frigate. In this battle, the Covenant ship was destroyed, though [[Spartan-034|Samuel-034]] died in the process. |

| | The facility on Chi Ceti IV was evacuated shortly thereafter. It is unknown whether this planet was [[glassed]] by the Covenant or not, but it is unlikely due to the fact that the planet had no major [[Human]] population centers. It is likely that the system is completely vacant and [[Neutral]] currently. |

| 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>

| ==History==
| |
| ===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===
| |
| 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]].
| |
| | |
| ===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>
