The system was discovered as Installation 07's location by renowned human scientist and historian Doctor Luther Mann after a year of sifting through data he'd discovered during his stay at the ONI Research Facility Trevelyan.[6]
There was a research outpost on the Halo established by March 2555,[6] and by August 2558 was protected by at least two Halberd-class destroyers.[2]
