==History==

===The Forerunner===

During the height of the [[Forerunner]] civilization, they built an underground complex on Ariel. The facility housed [[The Knowing]], an [[AI]] construct designed to observe and archive information. The entrance to the facility was defended by booby traps consisting of crisscrossing laser beams.<ref name="is5">'''Halo: Helljumper''', ''[[Halo: Helljumper Issue 5|Issue 5]]''</ref>

The object the Covenant sought was discovered to be a Forerunner ~~A.I., which called itself "The Knowing"~~. Shortly after being found by the ODST squad, it self-destructed. As a result, the Covenant fleet broke off their attack, not even wasting the energy required to glass the planet.

===Human-Covenant War===

During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Battle of Ariel|invaded the colony]], and one of the [[civilian]]s managed to send out a distress signal, to which [[UNSC High Command]] responded with sending a force of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s from the [[105th ODST Division]] to investigate. The UNSC forces came to notice that the Covenant were not operating in their usual fashion; [[Glassing]] of the planet was not their intent, but they were searching for something under the surface instead.<ref name="is1"/>
