User:XW3 AR3 L3GION/Tala System

The Tala System is a star system on the outskirts of the Orion Spur and is the home system of the Unggoy and the capital of the Commonwealth of Balaho. Unlike many of the other members of Covenant Empire, the Tala System lacks any Forerunner relics.

Stellar Composition
The Tala System has a blue supergiant which is quite energetic. It is theorizes that Tala is in the younger stages of its life, meaning that over the course of the next billion years of so that its output will begin to fade and render the Tala system un-inhabitable without terraforming.

Major Planetary Bodies
Unlike many species, the Unggoy did not name the other planets as the methane in their atmosphere stopped nearly all light reflected from other planetary bodies. From Balaho, Unggoy could only see one of their moons, Buwan as Balaho shares its atmosphere with it.

Scorched Peril
Scorched Peril is a large barren planet with a incredible magnetic field, which intrigues many scientists. However being so close to Tala, it suffers from surface temperature extremes ranging from 340 to -235 degrees halting any advancement.

Unworthy Jewel
A tiny world compared to its planetary neighbours, Unworthy Jewel is a very tectonically active planet with its surface covered in lava lakes and continually erupting volcanoes. A series of connected mining bases are mantained by 32,000 Unggoy since their 'Uplift' from Balaho. Considered the Unggoy's first ever colony, the Unggoy mine precious minerals while living in energy shield-protected methane-filled enviroments.

True Giant
True Giant is considered one of the largest gas giants known to the galactic community, it is twice the size of Jupiter and fifteen times denser. Its atmosphere is made up of hundreds of different gases, all wrapped up in the largest storm ever seen.

Balaho
The Covenant almost ignored Balaho until a curious Shipmaster sent down several Sangheili teams to discovered the Unggoy struggling to survive post-activation environmental collapse caused by massive global over-industrialization. Seen as invaders, the Sangheili were continually attacked by the Unggoy until a peace was brokered and the Sangheili offered them a place in the Covenant, much to the Prophets dismay.
