Requiem is the now confirmed name of the planet that Chief is heading towards.

*True story*, after the death of ArchDuke Franz Ferdinand, WW1 began after Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia.
They held a Requiem Mass for him in a Church.

So Requiem could be the start of a very big conflict.

Requiem itself is defined as "Mass for the dead", now that could mean a number of things...

1. UNSC dead?
2. Forerunners?
3. Precursors?
4. Or even the Flood?
5. New enemy we have never faced?

It is implying a gathering of those who support someone who has died. Not sure what is going to happen, maybe the planet itself represents the Mass/Perhaps life and nature, but who is dead?

The Librarian?

It also related to the Church, another reference to Christianity in Halo.
--------------------------------------------------------

Now, what is the planet exactly?

Is it the storage place of the ancient enemy?
Flood Research center?
Forerunner hideout?
Forerunner military base?
Forerunner Shield World protecting life?
Abandoned storage facility?
Trevelyan type Dyson Sphere?

So many possibilities.

What do you think?

Half of what I say is true. The other half are also lies.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Interesting thread.

I personally have no idea, but it fits with the whole "mass death" thing. It is a whole new "war" after all.

Don't be stupid like I was! Check to see what that Forum Ninja is saying to you!

The name makes perfect sense. Requiem is a Halo bunker, so it's a "Mass for the Dead" of those who perished in the Halo Array Firing.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Mozart?

I cap fools.

I was hoping it would be one of the Forerunner home planets. They're interesting folks.

We should know better, because we are better.

Maybe it is a mass grave for all the Forerunners who died against the Flood and Ancient Man.
