Bastallion X

== History ==
Bastallion X (commonly mistaken as Bastallion 10) is a massive, deteriorating rouge planet located in the Perabalax Asteroid System. Following the crash-landing of the colossal UNSC Charisma in 2562, 300,000 (estimated) survivors were forced to take refuge on the surface and utilize any equipment that was still intact. During the impact, communications with other UNSC ships were lost, disallowing contact for any help. Their only option was to wait for their ship to be noticed, and hope that the UNSC would eventually send a rescue team. Over a span of two years, the survivors collected large amounts of material from the ships rubble in order to begin the construction of shelter. Then in 2564, Bastallion X was struck by a level 9 asteroid and was quickly turned into a barren wasteland littered with destruction and nearly no survivors. The event killed approximately 278,000 inhabitants on the planet, making reconstruction very hard for the few that survived. The planet was not discovered again until 2568, when UNSC scientist located the the planet slowly drifting through the Perabalax Asteroid System to a star cluster 6.3 million light-years away. 
Bastallion X was the first planet of its kind; a stationary planet. Hundreds of scientist came together to figure out why this planet was in this state, but no answers could be revealed. Their only theory that was plausible was that the planet was created by sentient beings, rather than the universe itself. This idea was widely accepted among the groups of scientist, which led many of them to consider the Forerunners as the creators, seeing that they were an extremely technological species capable of creating worlds that no other being could. However, this idea was also widely denied, due to the fact that many scientist believed it was not natural for the Forerunners to create such a vast creation like the Halo Arrays, without any signs of their architecture available for Human studies. Although new theories continue to surface about the origin of Bastallion X, no valid information can be uncovered, leaving the planet an unsolved mystery.
