The '''Chi Ceti system''' is a binary star system and a planetary system located in the far reaches of [[human]]-controlled [[Milky Way|space]], approximately 77 light years from [[Earth]]. It was home to the planet [[Chi Ceti IV]], which housed the [[Damascus Testing Facility]] where the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] was first created.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 102''</ref>

In [[2525]], the Battle of Chi Ceti was fought here between the {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}} and the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ''[[Unrelenting]]''. The facility on Chi Ceti IV was evacuated shortly thereafter, along with the MJOLNIR armor.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 119''</ref> In this battle, the Spartans successfully destroyed the Covenant ship, though [[Samuel-034]] died in the process.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 130''</ref>

It would appear that the planet was again used for research, as the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/EOD variant]] was developed at Chi Ceti IV.

 

The colony survived the [[Human-Covenant War]] and continues to support the UNSC by developing several [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR GEN2]] armor variants.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 166''</ref>

Chi Ceti (aka 53 Ceti) is an actual star system 76.93 light years from [[Earth]].
