'''Gold''' (pronounced /ˈɡoʊld/) is a chemical element with the symbol Au (Latin: aurum) and an atomic number of 79. It has been a highly sought-after precious metal for coinage, jewelry, and other arts since the beginning of recorded history. In modern times gold is often found as a key component in critical electronics such as those found on air and spacecraft.

Due to its preciousness to [[Human]]s, in [[2552]], a group of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] plotted to steal a large amount of gold bullion from a bank while on a mission in a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]-occupied city.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''': ''Dirt''</ref> However, their plan was scuttled when they discovered a class of schoolchildren and their teacher hiding in the vault. An argument erupted amongst the ODSTs over whether or not the children could allowed to live. The ODSTs turned on one another and several were killed in a point-blank shootout. The children fled while an ODST took the gold, several [[Forerunner]] relics, and a [[Nuclear Weapon|nuclear device]]. They then lured in the Covenant and the traitorous ODSTs, and detonated the nuke, destroying it all. The entire operation would be halted after receiving word of the [[Battle of Earth|Covenant attack on Earth]]. The UNSC ships were then forced to pull out.

-Due to its preciousness to [[human]]s, in [[2552]], a group of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] on [[New Jerusalem]] plotted to steal a large amount of gold bullion from a bank in [[Covenant]]-occupied [[Mount Haven]]. However, their plan was scuttled when they discovered a class of schoolchildren and [[Julian|their teacher]] hiding in the vault. An argument erupted amongst the Marines over whether or not the children should be allowed to live. The would-be thieves turned on one another and several were killed in a point-blank shootout. The children fled while one of the remaining Marines took the gold, several [[Forerunner]] relics, and a [[nuclear weapon|nuclear device]]. They then lured in the advancing Covenant and the [[Treason|traitorous]] Marines, and detonated the nuke, destroying it all.<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]'', "[[Dirt]]"</ref>
