The five inner planets of the system all appear to be terrestrial. The innermost planet is small with one small [[natural satellite]]. The second planet is small and moonless. The third orbiting body is a tiny, cratered planet with two small natural satellites. The fourth planet is orbited by three moons. The fifth planet orbiting Soell is a terrestrial planet with a slight ovoid shape and a single natural satellite.<ref name="truth"/> | The five inner planets of the system all appear to be terrestrial.

Beyond the relatively sparse asteroid belt, the sixth orbiting planet is a large, ringed gas giant. Threshold is the seventh and largest planet in Soell's orbit.<ref name="vis">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 195''</ref> Threshold is orbited by Basis, | Beyond the relatively sparse [[asteroid]] belt, the sixth orbiting planet is a large, ringed gas giant.

The ninth planet orbiting Soell is a large, cratered terrestrial planet. Soell's outermost orbiting planet has an [[Wikipedia:Elliptical orbit|elliptical orbit]], thus occasionally bringing it closer to Soell than the eighth closest planet.<ref name="truth"/> | ||
