OverviewEdit

Planetary systemEdit

HistoryEdit

In 2456, Humanity established the colony Etalan in the system.[5]

Etalan was attacked and glassed by the Covenant in early 2526,[2] and it saw another engagement a few weeks later when a detachment from UNSC Navy's Task Force Yama targeted logistics vessels left behind by the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience.[4]

During the Created uprising, the Igdras system was made the seat of High Auxiliary Sloan and the Trisector Command Node he managed. While in this post, Sloan noted the Igdras system's position as bordering human Outer Colonies and the outer protectorates of the Covenant empire.[3]

Production notesEdit

In the short story Meridian Homecoming, found in the adjunct section of the 2024 re-issue of Halo: Meridian Divide, the system is erroneously referred to as the "Igdaris system".

The action is fairly compressed, timewise, so they couldn't have been traveling far. Harvest is less certain -- in my mind, it was more distant, so was probably in an adjoining sector 2/" (Retrieved on Jun 1, 2020) [archive]
