Editing Elvie

{{Status|Canon}}
'''Elvie''' is a mining settlement built by [[human]]ity into the surface of the asteroid [[LV-31]] - so-named after the phonetic pronunciation of the letters "L-V". The settlement covers around 30% of the asteroid's surface area, which itself orbits a gas giant in the [[Marcey system]] as part of a larger asteroid belt.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Saturn|Halo: Saturn Devouring His Son}}

Elvie receives its funding from the [[Imbrium Machine Complex]] (IMC), and acts as a satellite headquarters for the corporation in their partnership with the [[BXR Mining Corporation]]. The two companies use the settlement as a base from which to conduct mining operations in the Marcey system, particularly spurred on in the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war era]] of the 2550s following the losses incurred during the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|Saturn}}

Following the [[2555]] [[Invasion of Earth|attack]] on [[Earth]] and the resulting losses inflicted on the [[UNSC Home Fleet]], the rate of [[warship]] production was increased, leading to exploration of the surrounding asteroid belt in an effort to secure strategic resources for the rebuilding process. In [[2556]] this resulted in the discovery of a buried [[Forerunner]] [[Forerunner starship|spacecraft]] inside the neighbouring asteroid [[Site 22]], and the subsequent [[Outbreak at Site 22|outbreak]] of the [[Flood]] there.{{Ref/Reuse|Saturn}}
