'''51 Pegasi-B''' was a planet located in a star system on the fringes of [[UNSC]] controlled space, orbiting [[51 Pegasi]], and was close to [[85 Pegasi-194A]]<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], page 15.</ref>. It was also home of the small moon of [[Pegasi Delta]]. | '''51 Pegasi-B''' was a planet located in a star system on the fringes of [[UNSC]] controlled space, orbiting [[51 Pegasi]], and was close to [[85 Pegasi-194A]]<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], page 15.</ref>.

The [[Covenant]] constructed a massive refinery on the planet's moon, Pegasi Delta<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], page 15.</ref>. Serving as a supply station, the system was to be a Covenant forward staging post for incursions into UNSC space, as Covenant ships would come here and refuel, resupply, and gather to attack the enemy. <ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], page 15.</ref> In [[2545]], the [[Spartan-III]] [[Beta Company]] was sent on an attack on this facility during [[Operation: TORPEDO]]. Though they successfully destroyed the facility, 296 of the 300 [[Spartan]]s in Beta Company were massacred in a suicidal frontal assault with the exceptions of [[Min-B174]] after his death in an explosives accident and [[Adam-B004]], who died when the facility exploded. These incidents only left [[Lucy-B091]] and [[Tom-B292]] alive. | The [[Covenant]] constructed a massive refinery on the planet's moon, Pegasi Delta<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], page 15.</ref>.
