Sanghelios

Sanghelios is the Elite (Sangheili) homeworld. It is the fourth planet from their collection of stars, Urs, Fied, and Joori. It has two moons, Qikost and Suban.



There is a War College in the Iruiru region of Yermo, Sanghelios. It is likely to be home to a large civilian population of Elites (Sangheili) and possibly some form of defense force (most likely a large fleet). Sanghelios is also likely to be the location of an ongoing battle due to Covenant Civil War. Because of the Elite's seccesion from the Covenant, it is probable that Sanghelios became the capital of the Covenant Separatists.

The planet itself is illustrated in The Beastarium and is shown very similar to Earth, but with a somewhat more scattered landmass in contrast with bodies of water. Its atmosphere also has a reddish hue to it.

At the end of Halo 3, the Arbiter, Rtas 'Vadum, and the carrier Shadow of Intent return to Sanghelios.
