Turul

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

The moons of Reach, Turul and Csodaszarvas.

Turul[1] is the smaller of the two natural satellites of the human colony world, Reach, the larger one being Csodaszarvas. Turul appears to have a barren, cratered surface, and is barely symmetrical. The moon was captured into Reach's orbit fairly recently, approximately 70-80 thousand years ago. Thus, Turul was not in Reach's orbit when the Forerunners inhabited the planet.[2] Sometime prior to the Fall of Reach Ensign William Lovell noticed heavy EM activity bouncing off of Turul.[3]

Trivia

  • The moon is named after Turul, the most important mythological bird in the origin myth of the Hungarian people.
  • Lee Wilson jokingly commented the following about Jorge-052: "I believe Jorge was born under a rising Turul which often made him grumpy on Mondays... ".[2]
