Suban is one of the two massive natural satellites of Sanghelios, along with Qikost. Suban is reddish in color. The large size of both Suban and Qikost have great effects of the tides on Sanghelios.

Overview

Topography and ecology

Suban is home to large Sangheili population centers, major industrial sites, and many significant armories.

The crystalline, raw material blamite, used in the ammunition of the Type-33 Needler and the Type-31 needle rifle, is mined from Suban. Veins of blamite are found throughout the moon's interior. Suban is the only known location of the material. Indigenous life includes qoerith slugs.

History

Post-war

After the beginning of the Blooding Years, a large portion of Sanghelios' population fled to Suban, Qikost, and other Sangheili colonies for refuge.

After the start of the The Reclamation, the UNSC Infinity set up a brief rendezvous on the far side of Suban with the remaining UNSC forces on the planet. Using the Pelican recovered from Genesis, they were able to reach Infinity in time.
