'''Pegasi Delta''' is a small world in the [[51 Pegasi System]], and a [[natural satellite]] of the planet [[51 Pegasi B]]. The surface of the world is made of red rocks and sand.

The UNSC tried many times to neutralize the refinery, including using nuclear weapons launched from slipspace. However, the plutonium linings of the weapons let off an aura of [[Cherenkov radiation]] upon reentering normal space, which therefore made their stealth coatings useless. The Covenant easily found and destroyed them. Similarly, there were too many Covenant ships near the planet's moon to send a slow, distantly-launched weapon, a regular invasion force or even [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s. | The UNSC tried many times to neutralize the refinery, including using nuclear weapons launched from slipspace.

In [[2545]], the UNSC sent in [[Spartan-III]] super-soldiers from Beta Company to destroy the refinery in [[Operation: TORPEDO]]. They successfully destroyed the refinery by overloading and destroying the reactor causing a massive explosion, crippling the Covenant supply lines, but came out with the apparent death of 298 out of the 300 Spartans of [[Beta Company]]. The explosion also destroyed seven covenant cruisers that were docked at the factory.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', page 27</ref> Because of this, [[Lucy-B091]], one of the two surviving [[SPARTAN-III|Spartans]], was so shocked from the incident that she lost her ability to speak; she was later diagnosed with [[Post-Traumatic Vocal Disarticulation]]. | In [[2545]], the UNSC sent in [[Spartan-III]] super-soldiers from Beta Company to destroy the refinery in [[Operation: TORPEDO]].
