Hestia V

Hestia V is a gas giant lying in the Hestia system. As with a lot of other planets, this planet and it's natural satellites, were attacked by the Covenant Empire during the Human-Covenant war. One of it's satellites, Meridian was eventually glassed by the Covenant during the Battle of Meridian.

During these attacks, most of Meridian's colony support ships were moved to the other side of Hestia V, including the Meridian 5-Alpha.
