| '''Miridem''' was a [[human]] [[Inner Colony]] world of the [[Unified Earth Government]]. While comparatively smaller to the colonies in the [[Sol]] and [[Epsilon Eridani system]]s, Miridem was a strong, densely populated core world nonetheless.{{Ref/Reuse|mythos54}} | | '''Miridem''' was a human controlled colony world. In [[2544]], the Covenant invaded the planet that eventually led to the [[Battle of Miridem]]. All that is known of this conflict is that [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Sheila (SPARTAN-II)|Sheila]] was killed by the [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Major|Major]] [[Thel 'Lodamee]] and that [[Dr. Halsey]] was eventually [[The Package|taken hostage]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', "Chapter 20", ''page 173''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''' (2010), ''Bonus Content''</ref> The exact fate of Miridem is unknown, but given the events of the [[Human-Covenant War]], it is likely that it was glassed by the Covenant. |

| ==History==
| |
| In [[2544]],{{Ref/Novel|[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]|Page=173}} during the [[Human-Covenant War]], Miridem fell in the way of the [[Covenant]]'s path of destruction,{{Ref/Book|Id=enc299|[[Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)]]|Page=299}} becoming a target for the [[Third Fleet of Glorious Consequence]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=for|[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]|Chapter=''Adjunct'' (2010)}} In the ensuing [[Battle of Miridem]], [[Spartan-II]]s were deployed to aid in the evacuation of Miridem's residents.{{Ref/Reuse|enc299}} While numerous evacuation craft attempted to flee the colony, most were destroyed before they even left the world's [[gravity well]].{{Ref/Reuse|for}}

| The protracted battle lasted for over two weeks, with the Covenant besieging Miridem. While attempting to evacuate Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]], [[Sheila-065]] was killed by the [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Major|Major]] [[Thel 'Lodamee]] and the doctor was eventually taken hostage. However, 'Lodamee's actions led to his battlegroup suffering severe casualties and ultimately prolonged the battle. Shortly after, Miridem was [[Glassing|glassed]] by the Third Fleet of Glorious Consequence and the colony was declared lost by the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Reuse|for}} After [[Blue Team]] [[Operation: WARM BLANKET|rescued]] the doctor, [[Operation: IRON FIST]] was enacted on Miridem. This [[operation]] involved at least one Spartan-II, [[John-117]], and had the dual goals of asset denial and partial recovery of critical cyberinfrastructure assets on Miridem.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5GLtd|Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition|[[Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition dossiers#John-117|Dossier files]] - John-117}}
