| | 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. |

| |sector=
| | 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. |

| |
| ===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>
