Korinth Prior system: Difference between revisions

The '''Korinth Prior system''' is a planetary system in a region of space within the [[Forerunner]] [[ecumene]]. It was the location of [[Shield World 0459]], which was the fourth astronomical body in the system.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 174''</ref>

The system was discovered by the [[Covenant]] at some point prior to February [[2531]]. The {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} followed the Covenant to the system after Professor [[Ellen Anders]] had been captured by [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]]. The [[shield world]] was eventually destroyed when the crew of the ''Spirit of Fire'' realized that the shield contained ancient [[Forerunner dreadnought|Forerunner ships]] that the Covenant were trying to use.<ref>'''Halo Wars'''</ref> Its destruction left a massive debris field forming an [[Wikipedia:Accretion disk|accretion disk]] around its artificial star.

In [[2557]], the system was also investigated by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] [[Prowler]] {{UNSCship|Taurokado}} and [[Fireteam Apollo]]. Searching the debris field, they confirmed it as the remains of a shield world and also uncovered evidence of the ''Spirit of Fire''. At the same time, it was also visited by a [[Covenant remnants|Covenant]] [[battle group]]. On June 21st, UNSC [[AI]] [[Turkish]] generated a report which recommended an asset-denial or counter force operation in the system to deny the Covenant access to any Forerunner technology found there.<ref>'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''', ''[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #4]]''</ref>
