===Battle of Chi Ceti=== | |||
In [[2525]], the [[Battle of Chi Ceti]] was fought here between the {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}} and the [[Covenant]] warship ''[[Unrelenting]]'', resulting in the first UNSC victory of the war.

===Human-Covenant War=== | |||
Although the system was initially lost to the Covenant,<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''[[Data pads|Data pad 14]]''</ref> Chi Ceti IV continued to be used by the Materials Group for research over the course of the [[Human-Covenant War]]; among several further developments by the Damascus facility was the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/EOD variant|MJOLNIR EOD variant]]. | |||
== | ===Post War=== | ||
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> | |||
