Zenith Complex

The Zenith Complex was a dyson sphere, encompassing an artificially-engineered star system composed of a small white star with an unidentified number of planets, stretching much further than most normal systems. The majority of the system's planets were deemed habitable to support varying forms of life, although the formation of sentient life was evidently prevented. Instead, each planet's specifications were tailored to support a small population of elite Forerunner throughout the usage of the Halo Array. After the deep was done, they were to be as a classified branch of the . 
This would never come to pass, however. The awaited Forerunner would never arrive. Instead, an the crew of an unrelated science vessel ordered to ferry The Contender to would barely manage escape a confrontation with the Flood, and veer-off track, through Hope's slipspace portal and into the complex. The stray Forerunner would crash onto one of the artificial planets, and would remain there, under the care of the complex's Overseer-class ancilla, specifically 086 Awakened Follower. In this time, the complex's Overseers would swiftly see to it that The Contender was kept isolated and quarantined due to the threat that they feared he may cause. 
Follower would later become rampant, betraying two of his fellow Overseers and assuming control of the complex. From here, he would come to disregard the humbled Forerunner population. Because of Follower's great power, the following generations of primitive Forerunner would worship him as their god, even offering regular sacrifices to spare themselves his wrath.
The Zenith Complex would hold The Contender as well as the Forerunner's ancestors up-until the Battle of the Zenith Complex, a vital turning point, not only in the Human-Covenant War, but for all of human civilization.

===Quinn's Planet===
Dubbed "Quinn's Planet" after Eirikur Quinn, the ODST who had first stumbled upon and crash landed on the surface of this planet, Quinn's Planet was an artificial world containing two habitats. While the upper hemisphere was a vast, arid desert, the planet's lower hemisphere contained a dense jungle. Running along the equator, a three-meter wide band circled the planet. Across this band, numerous chambers could be accessed by 086 Awakened Follower, and presumably, other Overseers. The planet held a wide-variety of life, including massive desert felines and reptilian, ape-like bipeds.
