Circinius IV[note 1] was a Unified Earth Government colony world in the Circinius system. It was the location of the Corbulo Academy of Military Science, an officer training school for the offspring of high-ranking UNSC officials.[1]
The colony and the academy were attacked by the Covenant during the earliest days of the Human-Covenant War on April 26, 2526.[2] During the battle, the Covenant killed almost the entire population of the planet. Only four cadets from Corbulo Academy survived the initial assault,[3] although one of them, Chyler Silva, died during the battle. Later, the planet was glassed by the Covenant.[4]
Trivia
Along with Hat Yai, Circinius IV is not mentioned in the Assembly's report on glassed worlds (dated January 1, 2530) in data pad 14 from Halo: Reach. Thought the obvious Doylist explanation is that the planet was created after the game's release, there is no clear in-universe reason for this omission.
Note
- ^ Official material from 343 Industries consistently renders the planet's name as "Circinius-IV". The same naming scheme is used for Draetheus V from Halo: Spartan Assault. However, Halopedia omits the hyphen for the sake of convenience and for consistency with other planetary designations (e.g. Jericho VII and Draco III).
