The Epoloch system is a planetary system in an unknown region of space within the Forerunner ecumene. It was the location of the shield world known as Requiem, the home of the Promethean Warrior-Servants.[1] At the end of the Second Battle of Requiem in February 2558, Covenant leader Jul 'Mdama sent Requiem on a collision course with the star in an attempt to destroy the UNSC Infinity and her crew. Though Infinity escaped and returned to Earth, the shield world was consumed by Epoloch's immense heat and gravity. Epoloch itself exploded moments later.[2]
Trivia
Epoloch is shown to be blue-white in the Halo 3 Legendary ending as well as in the Halo 4 main menu and the campaign level Dawn; however, when Requiem is plunged into the star in Spartan Ops, it is depicted as being yellow.
