Seaward was a large planet at the edge of the [[Milky Way]], secret to all save a few [[Forerunner]] individuals. It was capable of supporting sentient life, but possessed no indigenous fauna.

Although the planet already possessed a secret community of wealthy Forerunners, it appears that the majority of the Forerunner empire was oblivious to the planet's existence. After the planet was publicly "discovered", a [[Primary Pioneer Group]] was dispatched to investigate and made a post landfall report. For one reason or another, however, it failed to make a follow up report.
