Onyx was discovered by the [[UNSC Engineering Corps]] sometime around May, [[2491]]. In [[ENGCORP Field Report A76344]], Captain [[D. F. Lambert]] stated "''XF-063 is a rare jewel of a find''" and recommended colonization. The [[The Assembly|Assembly]] quickly moved to keep colonization from occurring, as they had discovered the presence of Forerunner artifacts independently of the UNSC and feared that humanity would not be ready to learn about the existence of alien life.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''[[Data pads|Data pad 6]]''</ref>

*In ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', its mentioned that the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} took part in an ongoing conflict with the [[Covenant]] near the [[Zeta Doradus system]] which is where Onyx was located. The conflict was not further expanded upon nor has it been mentioned again, but it didn't involve Onyx which remained completely free of Covenant influence until after the portal to the [[shield world]] became active.

*According to [[Frederic-104]], Onyx is located weeks away from [[Earth]] in even humanity's fastest [[Slipspace]]-capable ships. In contrast, Covenant ships can cross that distance in a matter of hours.

*Physically, Onyx is the first [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] located by the UNSC though only the outer planetary shell was known about until [[2552]]. In [[2531]], ~~the~~ [[~~Etran Harborage~~]] outer planet and its inner Dyson sphere were discovered and destroyed by the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. However, as the ''Spirit of Fire'' became trapped in deep space, the UNSC were left unaware of this discovery.
