Unfortunately the planet's surface is completely unsuited to human life, featuring a toxic nitrogen-heavy cyanide-argon atmosphere. To overcome this the [[Ozawa Mercantile Association]] established a vast series of underground cities, factories, and domed cities that covered approximately 3% of the planet's surface.<ref name=DARWp33/> After the world joined with the Draconis Combine, it found new use as a military staging area, military prison, and punishment duty station.<ref name=DARWp33/> During the Star League era, Halstead Station served as the homeport for the [[4th Fleet (Star League)|Fourth Fleet]] of the Star League Navy. To prevent friction with the local population, the naval component kept a low profile on world.<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 76: "Homeport"</ref> ====Battle of Halstead Station==== Though these features made Halstead Station interesting it is best known for the raid [[First Prince of the Federated Suns|First Prince]] [[Hanse Davion]] executed on the world in [[3014]]. Halstead Station first came to the attention of [[Ian Davion|Prince Ian]] in [[3012]] when news of [[Takashi Kurita|Coordinator Takashi's]] choice to build a supply depot was discovered. By building a supply depot so close to Davion lines, the DCMS would be able to deliver parts to their front line troops much more quickly. Prince Ian saw this as much of a threat as Coordinator Takashi saw it as a boon and quickly drew up plans to attack the planet. The death of Prince Ian caused the attack to be delayed, and Prince Hanse was advised to cancel the attack altogether. He knew, however, that there was a recently discovered university from the [[Star League Era]] on the planet. This changed the objective of this raid from destroying the Kurita supply depots to one to obtain documents, books, and memory storage devices from the recently discovered university.<ref name="HKp88">''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 83: "The Halstead Station Affair"</ref> On 4 January 3014, Hanse Davion landed on the planet with three 'Mech regiments.
