Coral

Summary
Coral is a human planet. It will likely be the subject of Halo: Ghosts of Coral. In I Love Bees, it is said to be 42 lightyears from Earth, however, this may simply be a reference to 4orty2wo Entertainment, the company who produced I Love Bees.

As described in Conversations from the Universe, a mining operation uncovered the tip of a Forerunner installation. The miners used explosives to evaporate a depth of 30 meters, except for the tip of the installation, which wasn't even scorched. Archaeologists funded by ONI were able to dig out about eighty meters of the complex, which seems to be much bigger. The complex has been described as made from metalic crystal, symmetrical to a near-atomic scale, yet adorned with decorative artistic motifs.

According to I Love Bees, the planet has since been glassed by the Covenant. But while I Love Bees was before many plot twists in the story line, Coral may not have been glassed. According to Conversations from the Universe the planet held a Forerunner artifact; therefore, the Covenant would likely never glass the whole planet. This would make the planet just like Reach in terms of destruction.

Speculation
Coral may be the planet where the next book of Halo, Halo: Ghosts of Coral may set place if the title isn't changed. Rumour has it that that's where Dr. Catherine Halsey took Spartan-087, while she was sedated for healing on the ship Ascendant Justice/Gettysburg where they will meet up with Chief Mendez who is possibly training the Spartan IIIs.

However, Bungie has officially announced that the next Halo novel will be titled "Halo: Ghosts of Onyx." It is unknown whether or not Coral will play a role in the novel or what role it will play in the future Halo universe.
