==History==
===Rise of humanity===
New Harmony was colonized in [[2440]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
===Human-Covenant war===
{{Main|Human-Covenant war}}
Sometime in the first half of [[2537]], prior to July 27, a [[Battle of New Harmony|battle]] took place on this planet between [[Covenant]] and [[UNSC]] forces. The UNSC successfully defended the planet and won a rare naval victory.{{Ref/Reuse|enc299}} During the battle, a [[prowler]], the {{UNSCShip|Razor's Edge}}, managed to attach a [[telemetry probe]] to a retreating [[Covenant frigate]], allowing it to track the ship and locate [[K7-49]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 83''</ref>

However, this victory would be short-lived as New Harmony was attacked once more and [[glassing|glassed]] by the Covenant in [[2538]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P51|Enc22|Page=51}}

==Government and society==
===Culture===
Catherine-B320 and Jun-A266's accents suggest a large Slavic population.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=24530 '''Bungie.net:''' ''NOBLE TEAM PERFORMANCE REPORTS'']</ref>

==Production notes==
*In the [[Epilogue]] of ''[[Halo 4]]'', [[Thomas Lasky]] mentions that he grew up "on" New Harmony. While the preposition suggests he is referring to the colony world, it is more likely that he is meant to be referencing the [[New Harmony (city)|city of the same name]] on Mars, which is established to be his homeworld in ''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]''; furthermore, it is mentioned in the fourth issue of ''[[Halo: Escalation]]'' that Lasky grew up with [[Petra Janecek]] on Mars, suggesting the use of the preposition "on" was a mistake or that the details of Lasky's background were changed later on in production.
*The colony may have been named after one of the [[Wikipedia:New Harmony|several towns and communities of the same name]] in the United States, or the in-universe city of [[New Harmony (city)|New Harmony]] on [[Mars]].
