In [[2511]], when archaeological expeditions uncovered massive subterranean Forerunner constructions in [[Zone 67]], [[ONI]] immediately took control of the world, going so far as to remove Onyx from UNSC navigational databases and suspending any prospective colonization and terraforming attempts. However, further attempts to determine the purpose of the structures, or even to extract any usable technology, proved fruitless. In [[2525]], the operation was scaled down and only a minimum ONI garrison and a single [[AI]] remained. The planet's location remained secret. Regular scans continued to yield little of value.

With the onset of the [[Human-Covenant War]], [[Vice Admiral Margaret O. Parangosky]] authorized the construction of the [[SPARTAN-III]] training base on Onyx in [[2531]]. This base, designated [[Camp Currahee]], was constructed perilously close to Zone 67, which had been declared strictly off limits. However, during a routine exercise north of Currahee, [[Beta Company]] [[Team X-ray]] trespassed into Zone 67, entered a Forerunner structure, and disappeared without trace. An [[ONI]] investigation into the matter was inconclusive, although X-Ray was rumored to have encountered a "glowing eye," which detonated upon discovery.

*It is rumored that in the [[Halo 3]] Legendary Ending that the planet that is visible is Onyx. Another explanation is that it introduces Marathon.

*The [[Terminals]] mention that there were indeed [[Forerunners]] in Onyx.

*Though the Forward Unto Dawn's posterior is seen adrift towards the planet in the Legendary Ending of Halo 3, it ''cannot'' be Onyx because of the bomb [[SPARTAN-051]] activated predating the [[Second Battle of Earth]].
