The '''Zeta Doradus system''' is a planetary system near [[UNSC]]-controlled space, approximately 38 light-years from [[Sol system|Sol]]. It contains many planets orbiting the star | The '''Zeta Doradus system''' is a planetary system near [[UNSC]]-controlled space, approximately 38 light-years from [[Sol system|Sol]]. It contains many planets orbiting the star Zeta Doradus, almost all of which are icy [[Wikipedia:Terrestrial planet|rocky planets]] or [[Wikipedia:Gas giant|gas giants]], none of which are habitable. The one exception, however, is the [[Astroengineering#Artificial Planets|artificial planet]] known as [[Onyx]].<ref name="GoO">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 150''</ref> The system is relatively unknown to the UNSC.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 301''</ref> | ||
The UNSC cruiser {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} was refit to serve near Zeta Doradus in [[2550]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page | ==History== | ||
The Zeta Doradus system was first explored in sometime around [[2491|May 2491]]. The [[UNSC Engineering Corps]] discovered that all planets in the system were uninhabitable, except for [[Onyx]]. When massive subterranean [[Forerunner]] constructions were found on Onyx, the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] took control of the planet.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 124''</ref> Onyx was removed from the [[UNSC]] navigational databases and the system was considered not a part of [[human]] space.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 149''</ref> ONI began to attempt to uncover the Forerunner artifacts on Onyx. The planet was also used as a training grounds for the [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-IIIs]].<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 67''</ref> The {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}} {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} was refit to serve in a conflict near Zeta Doradus in [[2550]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 271''</ref> | |||
In [[2552]], the three-sided [[Battle of Onyx]] was fought in the system between the [[Covenant]], UNSC, and the [[Onyx Sentinel]]s.<ref name="GoO"/> All sides took massive casualties. Towards the conclusion of the battle, Onyx itself disintegrated, only leaving the [[shield world]] in its core intact.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 378''</ref> The shield world was located inside a [[slipspace bubble]] within Onyx. With the help of several [[Huragok]], the shield world was brought back into normal space inside the system and renamed [[Trevelyan]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Glasslands]]''', ''page 372''</ref> It is unknown how Zeta Doradus fared once Trevelyan entered normal space.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 367''</ref> | |||
