Charybdis IX

Charybdis IX is a planet in the Charybdis System.

The planet was an UNSC outer colony prior to the Human-Covenant War with Scyllion being its capital. As the war escalated martial law was declared in 2533 and led to Insurrectionist rioting in the capital the following year. The colony was destroyed shortly after by the Covenant.

A joint ONI and UNSC Navy operation to the colony in 2534 was one of then-Lieutenant (J.G.) Jacob Keyes' first assignments. He killed his first human, an Insurrectionist leader, during the riots.
