| ==History== | | ==History== |
| Upon its establishment in February [[2558]], Copernicus was attempting to find the [[Librarian]]-AI that [[John-117]] had [[Reclaimer (level)|encountered]] six months earlier. The base was eventually overtaken by the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] forces on Requiem, led by [[Jul 'Mdama]], who also wanted to find the Librarian themselves. The attack apparently came unnoticed to ''[[UNSC Infinity|Infinity]]'' command at the time, resulting in all of [[Fireteam Castle]] to be killed when on a supply run to the base.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Didact's Hand|S1E4 ''Didact's Hand'']]</ref>

| ==Trivia==
| |
| Like Galileo, Copernicus Base is named after a famous, historical scientist named [[Wikipedia:Nicolaus Copernicus|Nicolaus Copernicus]], a Renaissance mathematician and astronomer who believed that the sun, not the Earth as people believed at the time, was the center of universe.
