'''Chi Ceti IV''' is a planet in the [[Chi Ceti system]]. A distant red nebula is visible from the system.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 103''</ref>

The planet has a top-secret installation on its surface, the [[Damascus Testing Facility]], where the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|Mark IV MJOLNIR armor]] and the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/EOD variant|MJOLNIR EOD variant]] were developed.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 113''</ref>

On [[2525#November|November 27, 2525]], the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] vessel ''[[Unrelenting]]'' arrived in the Chi Ceti system. The [[UNSC frigate|frigate]] {{UNSCship|Commonwealth}} drove off the former vessel, though both ships were heavily damaged. ''Commonwealth'' remained in orbit as the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartans]] received their MJOLNIR armor. Later that day, the Spartans were deployed from the frigate toward a hole that had been blasted into ''Unrelenting'''s hull in an attempt to destroy the vessel from within. Only three Spartans, [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]], and [[Samuel-034]], arrived at the enemy vessel, which they then boarded. Shortly thereafter, Samuel's armor was damaged, leaving him unable to return to the ''Commonwealth''. He stayed behind and detonated an [[ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile|ANVIL-II missile]], killing himself and destroying ''Unrelenting''.

When the planet was compromised by the Covenant, the Damascus Testing Facility and a nearby [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] training center were abandoned. As these were the only known [[human]] installations on the planet, it is unlikely that the planet was [[Glassing|glassed]].
