[edit] History
It became the stronghold of the Eridanus Rebels after their insurrection was put down during Operation: TREBUCHET. It was the center of all activity for the Rebels and was serviced by freighters from the nearby Eridanus II. The Asteroid was outfitted with Titanium-A battleplate and other alloys that would deflect both UNSC radar and Covenant sensors.
It was effectively a hollowed-out rock that was fitted on the inside with improvised corridors and facilities from salvaged vessels. In the center of the asteroid was a city, complete with skyscrapers and other large buildings with streets. It was a great accomplishment for the Rebels.
In addition, several facilities were in place around the asteroid that caused outsiders to believe the Rebels had nuclear weapons around the facility. A hundred improvised civilian craft served to accommodate the navy surrounding the base.
The Spartan-IIs visited this place twice. The first time, in 2525, they captured the Rebel leader, Colonel Robert Watts, as their first mission as an active duty unit. They also placed a Panic Button on the 'Green' setting inside the asteroid.
The second time, in 2552, the Spartans and Admiral Whitcomb visited the facility aboard the Gettysburg-Ascendant Justice for repairs before returning to Earth. The Covenant followed them and located the facility.
[edit] Status
This asteroid along with all the Rebels were presumed destroyed by the Covenant.
