This former '''Forerunner colony''' is a planet in the [[Zeta Hydronis Secundus system]] that was the location of various buried labyrinthine [[Miner]] installations. Naively considered an impregnable fortress by the [[Forerunner]]s, the world eventually [[Attack on the Zeta Hydronis Secundus system|fell]] before the parasitic [[Flood]].<ref name="CF"/>

At the height of the [[Ecumene|Forerunner ecumene's]] power, the Forerunner Miner rate had built a network of colonies buried deep inside the rich planetoids of the Zeta Hydronis Secundus system. Protected by layers of [[hard light]] and exotic matter, and fitted with energy projectors, the world was considered impregnable. During the Forerunner's [[Forerunner-Flood war|war]] with the Flood, the installations successfully held back an attack from the parasite. Their victory was short-lived however, when the [[Gravemind]] itself turned an infinitesimal portion of its immense intelligence to bear on the problem.<ref name="CF"/>

Grasping impossible filaments buried beneath reality by the long-vanished [[Precursor]]s, the Gravemind pulled at strands that twisted and warped real space. Walls made of collapsed starmatter cracked and shattered,<ref name="CF"/> and the planet was ripped apart.<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians''', multiplayer map ''[[Tyrant]]''</ref> With the Miners' defenses destroyed, the Gravemind poured billions of [[combat form]]s onto the planet. Those that survived the assault could only activate failsafes and await their death at the hands of the Flood.<ref name="CF"/>

Millennia after the [[Great Purification|firing]] of the [[Halo Array]], the [[UNSC]] discovered the world and designated [[Site C]] to a Forerunner installation orbiting the planet.<ref name="CF"/>
