Draetheus V

Draetheus V was a human colony world. It had one moon, designated X50; unbeknownst to the colonists, the moon was actually a Forerunner superweapon. Sometime between 2553 and 2557, the UNSC discovered the world and established a number of research facilities on the planet and its moon. Subsequently, the reformed Covenant attacked the planet and clashed with the UNSC for the Forerunner relics present there. Two SPARTAN-IVs, Sarah Palmer and Edward Davis, participated in the campaign. During the battle, the Covenant activated the primary weapon of the X50 construct. Directed toward the planet, the beam began to disintegrate Draetheus V, destabilizing it. Spartan Palmer eventually killed the Covenant cult leader, Merg Vol, in the control center and sabotaged the construct, stopping the dismantling process of the planet.
