This chapter is shorter. Expect this pattern to continue. Every other chapter will offer a little bit of information, as seen from a different time and perspective. It will be more of a "looking back" sort of thing. The next chapter will be close to the length of the first and will be set back at the time of the plot.
**Author thing**
Oh yea, and tell me what you think of the type of writing style or way for this chapter. It's suppose to seem as though someone is accessing a computer.

Mist is classified as Planet 214, a pre-terraformed planet able to sustain human life. It is an oddity in the fact that it exits in a place where there is no real physical evidence that a life sustaining planet should exist. Also, the material that exists on the surface makes it highly interesting. The planet is covered in various structures and ancient ruins. It is one of the few planets with actual intact remaining evidence of intelligent life forms. It was immediately classified by the government and closed off to colonization. The ruins that were studied were very similar to those found on Reach and other various planets, and were believed to have been created by a race called the "ForeRunners." The planet became an archaeologist heaven. Multiple studies were conducted on the planet until it suddenly and immediately shut off from colonization, and registered as a government secret. The studie//FRAGMENT MISSING//
//FRAGMENT MISSING//emained a secret until about 1 year into the Rebel Civil War, when ONI decided to use it as a housing facility for their military projects. Mist suddenly became a military feeding ground, and was given top priority in terms of defense. As it was not on any registered star map and the rebels had no clue of its existence, ONI began to further use Mist as a staging ground for military operations and a "jump" point between Earth and the inner and outer rings.
Mist itself is a planet roughly the size of Earth. It has a gravitation pull of .99 times that of Earth and has standardized magnetic cardinal directions. All together, the planet was 67% water. Originally, its climate was no different from Reach or Earth. Habitable regions dotted the plane//FRGAMENT MISSING// in. Mist was a considered an "ideal" colonial planet. It was scheduled to be populated as soon as the Rebel War was concluded. It never was.
Mist had two large documented irregularities, which made it unique among all other discovered planets. Located in many of the structures were underground tunnels and catacombs. All attempts to open and traverse these structures have been unsuccessful. But, it is the static-mist, from which the Planet obtained its name that made it truly unusual. It has been said that 67% of the planet is water. This is slightly misleading. Much of the planet is covered in high voltage electro magnetic pulse storms known localy as Static Storms.
