Ariel is a Human Colony World of the United Nations Space Command. The planet has two archaeological dig sites and one settlement, with a population of approximately 4000 residents.^[1]

During the Human-Covenant War, the Covenant invaded the colony, and one of the civilians managed to send out a distress signal, to which UNSC High Command sent a force of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers from the 105th ODST Division to investigate. The UNSC forces came to notice that the Covenant were not operating in their usual fashion; Glassing of the planet was not their intent, but they were searching for something under the surface instead.^[1]

[edit] Trivia

• Ariel is also the name of the planet Uranus's largest moons.
• Ariel is also the name of a planet in the television series Firefly, which starred the voice actors for Buck, Dutch and Mickey (being Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk).
