Eirene was a human colony world in the Calypso system, governed by the Unified Earth Government.

History[edit]

Eirene was settled by humanity and incorporated into the Unified Earth Government in 2410.[1]

The Covenant attacked and ultimately glassed the colony in 2535.[1] Eirene was the homeworld of the Spartan-III supersoldier Jonah-B283, whose entire family was killed in the glassing, making him one of the hundreds of war orphans conscripted into the program.[2] At some point during the Covenant's assault on the world, Spartan-II Kelly-087 triggered a reactor breach that led to a 50 megaton blast towards a Covenant forward operating base, as part of Operation: PALE SHADOW. The destruction of the base allowed the city of New Kona to temporarily survive the battle.[3][4]
