Halycon was a UNSC colony.

History
Halycon was discovered in 2517, shortly before the beginning of the Human-Covenant War. A small colony was established in 2524, but before settlers bgan really arriving the war broke out. Halycon was untouched by the war- its residents were banned from communication to other UNSC worlds, and the local government impounded all of the settler's starships. (This was relatively easy, since there were only seven starships not owned by the government.

When the war ended, the UNSC sent a long-range patrol group to investigate, fearing that they would find a glassed, bombed-out ruin. Instead, they found a thriving planet still under control by the territorial governor- an especially remarkable feat, since most planets in the same circumstances had rebelled and set up their own governments.

Halycon stayed relatively unnoticed until 2619, when the Confederacy of Systems invaded.
