'''Neptune''' is a [[planet]] in the [[Sol system]]. It is the eighth planet from Sol, after Uranus.{{Ref/Reuse|enc295}} Neptune has no permanent [[human]] habitats.<ref name="mythos">''[[Halo Mythos]]'', The Interplanetary War, p. 50-51</ref> The planet was named after the [[Rome|Roman]] [[religion|god of the sea]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc295}}

Though overlooked in favor of [[Jupiter]], Neptune is in a unique position to slingshot ships coming in from [[Pluto]] deep into the system with its [[Gravity well (physics)|gravity well]]. This only works when the two planets are relatively aligned (and when [[slipspace]] travel would be deemed unreasonable), so it is still a rather rare occurrence. Compared to the barren wastes that are its closest two neighbors, Neptune is relatively bustling.<ref name="enc295">''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'', Locations: The Sol System, p. 282-283 (2009); p. 294-295 (2011 edition)</ref>
