'''Substance''' is a blue-white gas giant in the [[Coelest system]]. It is the fourth planet in the system and is the planet which [[Installation 05]] orbits. Though it has a higher mass, it is similar to the planet [[Wikipedia:Neptune|Neptune]] in color and composition, being classified as an ice giant.<ref name="evg">'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 190''</ref> Substance is orbited by eight satellites, only one of which, [[Opusculus]], is a natural [[moon]]. The rest include Installation 05, and six dormant [[Forerunner]] facilities on predetermined orbital paths.<ref name="evg"/> An [[asteroid]] field was located close to Substance at 2.4 AU from Coelest.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 189''</ref> | '''Substance''', also referred to as '''Coelest IV'''<ref name="lootcrate8">'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''', ''[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #8]]''</ref>, is a blue-white gas giant in the [[Coelest system]].

Unlike on [[Installation 04]], where its parent planet [[Threshold]] could be seen quite clearly, especially at night,<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]''</ref> on Installation 05, Substance is very difficult to see in the sky of Installation 05. In fact, in none of the locations on this ring seen by [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces (namely the [[Control Room (Installation 05)|Control Room]], the [[Library]], and various ruined structures) can the planet be seen. This is due to the Delta Halo's stormy weather conditions caused by a [[Flood]] outbreak that occurred some two centuries before the [[Battle of Installation 05]].<ref name="evg"/> During the [[Great Schism]] that began on Installation 05, [[Sangheili]] and [[Jiralhanae]] vessels battled each other over Substance.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 199''</ref> | Unlike on [[Installation 04]], where its parent planet [[Threshold]] could be seen quite clearly, especially at night,<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]''</ref> on Installation 05, Substance is very difficult to see in the sky of Installation 05.
