==History==
==History==
Epsilon Indi was part of the Forerunner [[ecumene]] prior to the activation of the [[Halo Array]]; the Forerunners built an unknown number of structures on Harvest.<ref name="Catalog"/><ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]'''</ref> The system was colonized by the [[Unified Earth Government]] in [[2468]]. The fact that Harvest was habitable without any [[terraforming]] necessary was enough to elicit a colonization effort to a such faraway world. At eleven light-years from [[Earth]], Epsilon Indi is not the most linearly distant star system in human territory; however, a combination of propaganda and the vagaries of slipspace travel led to it being declared the farthest-flung system in UEG space.<ref name="Catalog"/> A population of 3,000,000 citizens was ultimately established on Harvest and an orbital platform was built for exporting and importing goods.

In 2525, the [[Covenant]] discovered the system. It was humanity's first contact with the Covenant and after a [[First Battle of Harvest|violent first contact]], the Covenant [[Glassing|glassed]] most of the surface. In [[2526]], the [[Second Battle of Harvest]] took place in the system and the UNSC took it back from the Covenant.
