Located 350 light years from Sol, it is the furthest known human colonized system. The system is known for exports and a good vintage of champagne. It is unknown what other roles this colony played during it's existence, or if it was even a battleground, or if the colony was at all glassed.[1]
Trivia
It is unusual how far away this colony world is; given the slow velocities UNSC ships can travel in slipspace, it could take many years to reach this system.
