'''Doavyn''' is a [[Wikipedia:Exoplanet orbital and physical parameters#Massive solid planets|super planet]] in the [[Khaphrae system]] and the former gravitational anchor for [[Installation 03]] before the [[Halo Array|ring]] was transported to [[Clinquant]] and then to an undisclosed location by [[859 Static Carillon]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P348&349|Enc22|Page=348-349}}{{Ref/Comic|Id=HE10|HE|Issue=10}}

==Overview==
===Topography===
Centuries prior to the [[Human-Covenant War]], Doavyn underwent an unknown catastrophic event which resulted in the large [[planet]] shattering and several large chunks of the world breaking into pieces,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P348&349}} leaving in deep gouges leading toward its core and the creation of a dense [[Asteroid|asteroid field]] above the planet. Doavyn's surface appears to be covered in rocky terrain and deserts,{{Ref/Level|Id=Composer|H4|Level=Composer}} although it is unknown if these conditions existed prior to the planet's shattering or if they were caused by the event. The surface around one of the poles is a gray-white, possibly hinting at the existence of a [[Wikipedia:Polar ice cap|polar ice cap]] or simply another coloration of rock that is more common in that region.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P348&349}} Around and within the gargantuan fissures covering planet, exposed [[Wikipedia:Lava|lava]] can be found.{{Ref/Reuse|Composer}}

==History==
===Distant past===
After the [[Halo Array#Neoteric Array|Halo Array]] was built at [[Installation 00]] circa [[97,445 BCE]], [[Installation 03]] was sent to Doavyn via [[slipspace]] [[Slipspace portal|portal]]. Shortly thereafter, Installation 03 was [[Great Purification|fired]] along with the rest of the array, eradicating all life within the [[Milky Way]] to starve the [[Flood]] of its food.{{Ref/Site|Id=HaloArray|URL=https://web.archive.org/web/20211030155816/https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/tech/halo-array|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Array|D=07|M=08|Y=2022}}

Several centuries before its discovery by [[humanity]], Doavyn experienced a mysterious cataclysmic event of unknown origin. This event resulted in the shattering of the planet, with large chunks of it exploding into space and becoming caught in orbit in the form of an asteroid field. During the cataclysm, Installation 03 suffered extraordinary damage and its [[monitor]], [[049 Abject Testament]], went missing around the same time. Since the event, however, the Halo has underwent significant repairs and has returned to a habitable state.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P348&349}} 

===Discovery===
[[File:H4-IvanoffStation-ScanScreen.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Ivanoff Station in the asteroid field created by Doavyn's decimation.]]
During the [[Battle of Tribute]] in [[2552#August|August 2552]], the [[freighter]] ''[[Floral Express]]'' fled the planet while carrying colonial refugees. Following a randomized slipspace jump, the ship arrived in the [[Khaphrae system]] on [[2552#October|October 8]]. Upon returning to [[Earth]], the crew was detained by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] for possible violations of the [[Cole Protocol]]. After examining the ''Floral Express''{{'}}s flight records, ONI used intelligence gleaned from the [[Battle of Installation 04]] to detect what they believed to be Installation 03 in orbit over Doavyn. Contacting and redirecting pioneer teams to the Khaphrae system, ONI was able to confirm that it was indeed Installation 03, Gamma Halo.<ref name="11h">''[[Eleventh Hour reports]] - #5''</ref> The pioneer teams attempted to find and secure the installation's [[Library]] to recover the [[activation index]] as part of neutralization protocols which had been established by [[2552#October|October 25]]. Since Earth was [[Battle of Earth|under attack]] at the time, the teams could not return home, and they did not have the force of arms to safely remain on the ring, the teams settled in for a long habitation in a makeshift orbital base called [[Ivanoff Station]] that they established within Doavyn's asteroid belt.{{Ref/Reuse|Myth164}}

Following the return of the [[Ur-Didact]] in [[2557]], [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]] travelled to Installation 03 to investigate the disappearance of [[Black Team]]. They discovered that the Spartans had been killed by the Didact,{{Ref/Comic|Id=HE8|HE|Issue=8}} who intended to visit the [[Forerunner]] installation known as [[Clinquant]], or the Composer's Forge, to procure more [[Composer]]s that would let him create additional [[Promethean Knight]]s. At the Didact's behest, the monitor of the Composer's Forge, [[859 Static Carillon]], had Installation 03 transported from Doavyn's orbit to Clinquant. However, Static Carillion would turn on the Forerunner,{{Ref/Comic|Id=HE9|HE|Issue=9}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P348&349}}  siding with Blue Team who then ejected a segment of Installation 03 and slammed it into the Composer's Forge, composing the Didact. Instead of returning Installation 03 to Doavyn, Static Carillion took the Halo to an undisclosed region of the galaxy to conduct repairs.{{Ref/Reuse|HE10}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P348&349}}
