'''Lambda Serpentis''' is a star system composed of a yellow G-type star, located around 38 light-years from the [[Sol]] [[Sol system|system]]. Lambda Serpentis was formerly the location of at least one of the [[UNSC]]'s outer colonies, a planet in the system contained the [[Jericho VII]] colony. <ref>'''[[The Fall of Reach]]'''</ref>
The '''Lambda Serpentis system''' is a planetary system orbiting a star known colloquially as '''Jericho'''. Lambda Serpentis was formerly the location of at least one of the [[human]]ity's [[Human colonies|colonies]], [[Jericho VII]].<ref name="forp">''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', Prologue</ref>


In [[2535]], the Covenant invaded the system and attacked the UNSC colony on Jericho VII. Even though the UNSC sent [[Spartans]] to help [[Battle of Jericho VII|defend Jericho VII]], the human defenses were overwhelmed and the Covenant [[Glassing|glassed]] the planet. In [[2552]], a [[Fleet]] of Covenant ships was ordered to go to the Lambda Serpentis system to collect [[Tritium]] gas for their reactors in preparation to rendezvous with the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'' and mass [[Slipspace]] jump to [[Earth]], indicating that the system is now home to a Covenant refueling station at the very least.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', page 198</ref>
==History==
In [[2535]], the [[Covenant]] invaded the system and attacked the [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] of [[Jericho VII]]. Even though the [[United Nations Space Command]] deployed [[Spartan-II]]s to help [[Battle of Jericho VII|defend Jericho VII]], the human defenses were overwhelmed and the Covenant [[Glassing|glassed]] the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|forp}}
 
Around September [[2552]], a massive [[Truth's fleet|fleet]] of Covenant [[warship]]s was ordered to travel to the Lambda Serpentis system to collect [[tritium]] gas for their reactors in preparation to rendezvous with ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'' at the [[Hawking system]] before embarking on a mass [[slipspace]] jump to [[Earth]] in the [[Sol system]].<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', Chapter 21</ref>


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*While described as having two reddish suns in ''The Fall of Reach'', the real-world Lambda Serpentis system only has a single, yellow star.
''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' erroneously describes the system as having two reddish suns. This may indicate that the Jericho and Lambda Serpentis systems were not originally intended to be synonymous.{{Ref/Reuse|forp}}
