The '''Eridanus System''' is a [[UNSC]] system in the [[Outer Colonies]] where the [[Eridanus Rebels]] based their revolution. It should not be confused with [[Epsilon Eridani]], also a UNSC-controlled star system.
 
The '''Eridanus System''' is a planetary system in the [[Outer Colonies]]. One of the many systems with prevalent [[insurrectionist]] activity, it was under [[UNSC]] control until [[2530]] when its main planet, [[Eridanus II]], was [[Glassing|glassed]] by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]].

*In the real world, there is no star system by the name "Eridanus". However, a constellation called [[Wikipedia:Eridanus (constellation)|Eridanus]] exists, and it is likely that this system is located around one of the stars within the constellation. Eridanus System is believed by some fans to be the real-life star [[Wikipedia:Eta Eridani|Eta Eridani]], 121 light years away from [[Earth]]. With Human ships being able to cross distances of 2.626 light years per day, it would only take 46 days to reach Eta Eridani. Another possible star, also within the constellation, would be [[Wikipedia:82 Eridani|82 Eridani]], about 20 light-years from Earth.
