==Overview==
Neptune is in a unique position to slingshot ships coming in from [[Pluto]] deep into the system with its [[gravity well]]. This only works when the two planets are relatively aligned (and when [[slipspace]] travel would be deemed unreasonable), so it is still a rather rare occurrence. But compared to the barren wastes that are its closest two neighbors, Neptune is relatively bustling.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 283''</ref>

Neptune's orbit has anomalies, though, which were believed to be caused by Pluto. However, Pluto was ill-suited for causing them.{{Ref/Reuse|enc295}}
