Yes, that's the gas giant's name.
I dunno what lil planet thing you're talking about.
You might be talking about Basis, though. The Halo orbits about Threshold in what's called a Lagrange point of Threshold and Basis. I'm assuming that it's a stable Lagrange point.
If Halo orbits Threshold pi/3 radians away from Basis' orbit, it'll tend to hold that orbit and drift back toward it if disturbed slightly. It's called a stable Lagrange point. The unstable Lagrange points are where Basis' gravity makes that "felt" by anything at the Lagrange point in question create an orbit of the same period as Basis despite different distance. If Halo's at the unstable point between the two big bodies, it needs to be doing something to avoid drifting away into a more "natural" orbit. You can tell which type of Lagrange point Halo was at by looking at the sky there. If the three bodies' positions draw an equilateral triangle, Halo is in a stable one. If they are all on one strait line, Halo's at the interior unstable point. I'm gonna power up my Xbox now just to find out...

Hate to sound like Caboose, but if Halo orbits a planet, how does it go to other planets to destroy them?

It just popped into my head and I thought someone might find it interesting. It seemed related to the topic of the thread...

They'll be positioned around the universe or several galaxies tactically to wipe out enemy life. I reckon there was a universe threatening war between the forerunners and someone else so they activated the rings and destroyed both races.

It'd be funny if one got sucked into a black hole..
