'''Saturn''' is a [[planet|gas giant]] and the sixth planet in orbit from [[Sol]]. It is the third largest body in the Sol system behind, [[Jupiter]] and [[Sol]] itself.{{Ref/Reuse|enc295}}


==Overview==
'''Saturn''' is a planetary gas giant and the second biggest planet in the [[Sol system]]. It is the sixth planet from Sol, after [[Jupiter]].
Saturn is considered one of the more visually appealing objects in the Sol system, due to the gas giant's bright, massive system of [[Wikipedia:Planetary ring|planetary rings]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc295}}


==History==
Its practical uses to the [[UNSC]] are limited, and therefore it is mostly just a tourist destination.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 283''</ref> A tourist station called [[Castellaneta]] is positioned in geosynchronous orbit on the "sunny side" of Saturn's outermost ring.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', ''Chapter 5''</ref>
===Colonization efforts===
Several of Saturn's moons were sites for attempted colonization efforts that were ultimately abandoned or "lost", leaving the colony efforts in ruins on the moons' surface. These ruins are frequently used as operating bases for bands of [[human]] [[pirate]]s.<ref>''[[Halo: Retribution]]'', page 94 (Google Play edition)</ref> Overall, Saturn's [[natural satellite]]s are not as explored as [[Jupiter]]'s [[Jovian Moons|moons]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc295}}
 
Eventually though [[Titan]] has been established as an industrial [[Human colonies|colony]] of the [[Unified Earth Government]] and Saturn itself became home to [[helium]]-3 mining facilities, as well as research habitats that orbit the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|mythos}}
 
In general, the gas giant's practical uses to the [[United Nations Space Command]] are limited, due to Saturn's distance from Sol and the lack of necessity to be colonized, and therefore it is mostly just a tourist destination.{{Ref/Reuse|enc295}}

A tourist station called [[Castellaneta]] is positioned in geosynchronous orbit on the "sunny side" of Saturn's outermost ring.{{Ref/Novel|[[Halo: New Blood]]|Chapter=5}}
