Sheol is a star system located in the Hades Nexus cluster. The system is incredibly small, possessing only one planet, although that didn't stop colonization efforts in the cluster over the course of its existence. The system was ignored by the First Rachni Collective during their occupation of the Hades Nexus, but was heavily colonized by the quarians in 204 CE, with Gei Hinnom sporting numerous mining colonies and smaller colonies. After the collapse of the Greater Republic of Rannoch and its Colonies, and its rump state Hekrast, the solar system was entirely abandoned until the 2170s, when Alliance-authorized mining settlements were established there. An armed conflict briefly sparked between human miners and hanar evangelical scientists in 2185 CE, and ended after an arranged peace settlement. Gei Hinnom was abandoned by the Alliance after the war, and the Systems Coalition ceded it back to the quarians, who continued the mining operations, albeit after dismissing the treaty the miners and evangelicals had negotiated over a decade before. The system has remained a Republic of Rannoch territory ever since.
The system is named for She'ol, the Jewish afterlife.
