Editing Starfall: Halo (section)

== History ==
Colonized in 2128, Halo was the first system colonized by Humans that left [[Starfall:_Sol|Earth]]. The system was originally colonized in order to observe and study the complex life in the [[Starfall:_Sesha|Sesha system]].  A disease known as the [[Starfall:_Epic_Virus|Epic Virus]] was contracted from Sesha and infected the populations of Halo and earth soon there after.  The Earth was crippled by this disease and assumed that Halo had been a complete loss.  Because of this, Halo lost contact with the Earth.

The people of Halo found themselves without aid and in desperate need of basic necessities.  In order to acquire raw materials they invaded the nearby Sesha system taking food and raw matirials back to Halo.  As the disease was being overcome the Halorians found themselves in need of labor since their population had been all but wiped out by the plague.  To these ends the Halorians began taking [[Starfall:_Sesheyans|sesheyans]] slaves from the Sesha system.

Soon Halo had a slave population that outnumbered its human population by five to one.  In order to keep the slave population in check the Halorians developed an increasingly brutal warrior tradition.  It was in this state that the People of the Earth, now know as the Sol System, found the Halo System when contact was reestablished in 2140.

Halo was resentful of the Earth's abandonment and authoritative attitude after contact was reestablished. Halo Resisted Sol's  demands that Halo free its slaves and submit to Solar authority.  A short violent conflict, known as the Halorian War followed.  Halo had no space combat ships, at this point space combat was still theoretical.  Solar troops were able to land on Halo but were quickly slaughtered by the Halorian troops.  After three decisive battles the Solars called off the war and recognized Halo as an independent nation.

In 2173 the sesheyans on Halo stage a massive revolt that is quickly put down.

In 2181 Halo and Sol for a tense alliance during the [[Starfall:_Eberian_War|Eberian War]]

In 2199 a second slave revolt takes place.  After this revolt the Halorians free their slaves and offer limited rights to the Sesheyans.

2213; Halo takes part in the colonization of [[Starfall:_Port_Freedom|Port Freedom]] and [[Starfall:_Celt|Celt]] as well as the [[Starfall:_Stellar_War|Stellar War]] alongside Sol, and [[Starfall:_Pharaoh|Pharaoh]].
