Eridanus II

A UNSC colony world, little has been revealed about this planet, it is the location of the Luxor Spaceport and Elysium City, where John-117 grew up until he was abducted and sent into the Spartan-II program in 2517. John never met his family after he was abducted and after 2530 the planet was glassed by the Covenant. It is also to be noted that it is a place of much hostility against the UNSC, as Dr. Halsey stated many pirates and rebels were operating from the system. John later returned there in 2525 with the other Spartan-II's aboard the Destroyer UNSC Pioneer to board the cargo freighter Laden and travel to a rebel base, Eridanus Secundus in the system's asteroid field. In fact, the asteroid Eridanus Secundus is where John 117 had his first mission, to capture the rebel leader, Col. Robert Watts.
