The claim of humanity having a mere seventeen colony worlds has been ignored in later material, which instead appear to adhere to the more lenient figure of 800 worlds presented in the [[Archive:Xbox.com/Halo/Timeline|original ''Halo'' timeline]]. Given that the timeline also states that 210 [[Inner Colonies]] had been settled before 2390, it is unlikely that the notion of Harvest being the seventeenth colony is considered canonical. This is further evidenced by the "Story So Far" documentary on the Halo: Legends DVD giving the number of human worlds the same as the original timeline.}} Located in the [[Epsilon Indi system]],{{Ref/Novel|HCH|Page=32}} the planet had the unfortunate distinction of being the first human planet discovered and destroyed by the [[Covenant]]. After [[First Battle of Harvest|a disastrous first contact]], the planet was subsequently [[glassing|glassed]] by the Covenant, but most of its population managed to escape in [[DCS light freighter|freighters]].{{Ref/Novel|HCH|Page=387}}

==Overview==
===Astronomical features===
Harvest was a small planet, approximately one-third the size of [[Earth]] with an equatorial diameter of slightly more than 4,000 kilometers (2,484 miles), making Harvest slightly smaller than the [[Sol system|Sol]] planet [[Mercury]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=pg33|HCH|Page=33}} In terms of surface area, Harvest possessed ~50 million km², roughly one-tenth the surface area of Earth. Harvest orbited [[Epsilon Indi system|Epsilon Indi]] extremely quickly, much faster than most other UNSC colonies, at roughly 150,000&nbsp;km/h, or ~41&nbsp;km/sec (by comparison, Earth orbits Sol at roughly 30&nbsp;km/sec). Harvest had no natural satellites. Harvest also has a day/night cycle only 17.5 Earth hours long. Out of a total of five planets in the Epsilon Indi system, Harvest was the only habitable planet, as well as being fertile for farming.

[[File:H4 Harvest Farmland.png|thumb|right|250px|Harvest was a significant source of agricultural exports to much of human space.]]
===Environmental features===
The super-continent [[Edda]] dominated the planet, taking up roughly 67% of its surface. Two low-salinity seas covered the remainder of the planet, [[Hugin Sea|Hugin]] to the north, and [[Munin Sea|Munin]] to the south.{{Ref/Novel|HCH|Page=74}} Almost 86% of Edda is within 500 meters of sea level, the only major change in elevation is the [[Bifrost]], an escarpment that "cuts" Edda in half.

[[File:HW HarvestIce MattePainting 2.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The ice sheets of Harvest's northern polar region.]]
===Ecology===
Harvest's surface was once beautiful, covered in grassland and forests, lush fields, rolling hills, seas, and a thousand lakes.{{Ref/Novel|Id=GOO75|GoO|Page=75}} A major limestone escarpment, the [[Bifrost]], began on the northern plains just south of the Hugin Sea and cut southwesterly towards the equator.{{Ref/Novel|Id=CH5|CH|Chapter=5}} The presence of limestone suggests low-energy water conditions with vast accumulation of organic matter millions of years in the planet's past.

Harvest featured a significant number of organisms imported from Earth due to its agricultural usage. Magnolia trees were common, as well as oak trees, broadleaf shrubs, moss, ferns, and grasses.{{Ref/Reuse|CH15}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=CH20|CH|Chapter=20}}{{Ref/Reuse|H4H}} The planet was populated by numerous orchards, vineyards, gardens, and fields of crop, ranging from humble family farms to sophisticated corporate-industrial operations.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=GOO75}} Some of its crops included: apple, cantaloupe, cherries, corn, various grains, grapes, peaches, pears, soy, and wheat.{{Ref/Novel|Id=CH1|CH|Chapter=1}}{{Ref/Novel|CH|Chapter=7}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=CH8|CH|Chapter=8}}{{Ref/Reuse|CH13}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=CH15|CH|Chapter=15}} One [[Harvest (map)|facility]] near the Tiara space elevators hydroponically grew a crop which appeared to be varieties of aloe.{{Ref/Reuse|H4H}} Some of its wheat crops were said to be so plump that an entire day of blazing sun failed to reach the ground beneath them. The crops were sprayed with fungicide, indicating the presence of crop-eating fungi.{{Ref/Novel|Id=CH13|CH|Chapter=13}}

Harvest's thousand lakes were swarming with fish. Swarms of honeybees aided in crop pollination.{{Ref/Reuse|CH15}} [[Starling]]s and other hardy bird species, as well as [[bat]]s,{{Ref/Reuse|GOO75}} were among the species introduced during colonization to help contain the planet's essential insect population.{{Ref/Reuse|CH15}} Gophers plagued many fields and had to be shot by farmers to protect their crop.{{Ref/Anthology|Id=Dirt|Evo|Story=Dirt}}

After being glassed, the surface was reduced to a layer of melted glass, the destruction visible from orbit.{{Ref/Novel|HFoR|Chapter=??}} The environment suffered a catastrophic blow as a result, the once glorious landscape turning into a nearly frozen tundra, causing most species to quickly go extinct. Dead trees remained standing where they perished in the snow and ice.{{Ref/Reuse|HWAB}} Soon, all that remained of Harvest's original ecosystem were the scavengers, feeding off the rotting remains of the planet's once abundant wildlife, and even they perished before long. Now, the planet is submerged in nuclear winter, with no life on the surface. But, even after all of this, there are still several Forerunner complexes, surviving deep in the planet's mantle.{{Ref/Book|HWF|Page=22}} [[Harvest bird|One species of bird]] was known to survive the glassing to [[2531]].{{Ref/Level|Id=HWAB|HW|Alpha Base (Halo Wars level)|Alpha Base}}

==History==
===Ancient history===
Harvest was known to the [[Forerunner]]s approximately 100,000 years [[97,445 BCE|prior]] to the Human-Covenant War. The planet was a relatively minor asset in the Forerunners' vast [[Ecumene|empire]] and was utilized as a [[conservation sphere]] waystation. The [[Relic (location)|waystation facility]] included a subsidiary [[Flood]] [[Flood research facility|research]] and [[Flood containment facility|containment]] center,{{Ref/Reuse|catalog}} as well as administrative nodes that directed Forerunner defenses in the surrounding systems.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} The structure housed a [[holography|holographic]] stellar [[cartographer]] that pointed the way to another star system, [[Procyon system|Procyon]].

===Rise of humanity===
[[File:Harvest2.jpg|thumb|250px|Harvest before the Covenant assault.]]
Harvest was founded in [[2468]] when the {{UNSCShip|Skidbladnir}} arrived transporting colonists, then dismantled to form the core of Utgard. One of the furthest and most isolated colonies to be founded by the UEG,{{Ref/NoteReuse|17th}} the population was still small when Sergeant [[Avery Johnson|Avery J. Johnson]] engaged in his first mission on the planet. Harvest was settled by [[Religion|Lutheran]] [[United States of America|Americans]] of [[Germany|Germanic]] descent.{{Ref/Book|Enc09|Page=286-287}}{{Ref/Book|Enc11|Page=298-299}} Most locations on Harvest were named for elements of Norse mythology, as were its primary AIs, [[Sif]] and [[Loki]]/Mack. This is because many of Harvest's settlers were of [[Scandinavia]]n ancestry.

By the time he returned in 2525, the population of Utgard alone had doubled.{{Citation needed}}

====Insurrection====
In [[2502]], various secessionist and [[Insurrectionist]] groups were active on Harvest, including the [[People's Occupation Government]], [[Harvest for Harvesters]] and the [[Secessionist Union]], whose leader, [[Jerald Mulkey Ander]], was assassinated by [[Avery Johnson]] as part of the [[ORION Project]]'s [[Operation: KALEIDOSCOPE]].{{Ref/Comic|HGN|Page=[[Halo Graphic Novel, Page 122|122]]}}

Harvest was the first colony to be attacked by the Covenant and the first [[human]] world to be [[glassing|glassed]]. It was also the first place humanity officially made contact with the Covenant, after the incidents on ''[[This End Up]]'' and ''[[Minor Transgression]]''.

In [[2524]], Staff Sergeant Johnson returned to Harvest along with [[Nolan Byrne|Staff Sergeant Byrne]] and [[Ponder|Captain Ponder]], all survivors of [[Operation: TREBUCHET]]. They were to train a [[Colonial Militia]] and, unbeknownst to them, fend off what UNSC had believed to be Insurrectionist attacks on ships in the system.

On [[2525#February|February 3, 2525]], the Harvest orbital platform, the [[Tiara]], made long-range radar and spectroscopic contact with ''[[Rapid Conversion]]''. Contact with Harvest was lost thereafter.

===Human-Covenant War===
The citizens of Harvest soon found themselves in the middle of the first battle between the [[Covenant]] and [[human]]ity, using their newly trained Militia to herd hundreds of thousands of civilian survivors from [[Gladsheim]], Vigrond and other locations to the [[Utgard]] [[space elevator]]s to escape the planet.

=====First Battle of Harvest=====
[[File:Harvest Plasma Glassed.jpg|thumb|250px|Harvest, partially [[glassed]] by the Covenant.]]
{{Main|First Battle of Harvest}}
During the first Covenant attack on Harvest about 250,000+ humans managed to escape the planet by packing into 236 freight containers which were then loaded into seven elevator depots in Utgard. Every five to [[seven]] minutes, seven pairs of freight containers were loaded into the space elevator. Loaded ahead of these freight containers were seven "grease buckets", maintenance containers, two which were loaded with Johnson's men and [[Jilan al-Cygni]]. The other five were decoys rigged with claymore mines which were used to soften the Brutes, Grunts and Drones which had boarded and taken control of ''[[Tiara]]''.{{Ref/Novel|HCH|Page=351-352}} While the other two "grease buckets" holding Johnson and Co. stopped and they were fighting off the Covenant, the number seven strand of the space elevator snapped a few thousand kilometers above its anchor due to the stress caused by the load becoming unbalanced. There were 11 pairs of freight containers on the strand when it snapped, killing around 20,000 people.{{Ref/Novel|HCH|Page=372}} The remaining freight containers carrying the survivors of Harvest continued up the elevator, out into space, where they met up with [[propulsion pod]]s that [[Sif]] had placed previously. Once Johnson and Co. finished fighting the Covenant on the ''Tiara'', they joined the survivors and used the propulsion pods to enter Slipspace.{{Ref/Novel|HCH|Page=352}}

At the time of these occurrences, the first prototypes of the [[Barukaza Workshop Chopper|Brute Chopper]] was made by a [[Huragok]] named [[Lighter Than Some]]. However, these were destroyed by [[Jotun Heavy Industries|JOTUNs]] commanded by the AI Mack.

After the destruction of the Tiara, the now rampant AI [[Mack]] buried its strands in a form of a funerary ritual for the AI [[Sif]].

The discovery of humans on Harvest was the catalyst for the attempted Covenant genocide of the human race, due to a mistranslation of the Forerunner glyph for "Reclaimer", for "Reclamation".

[[File:HWG SecondBattleOfHarvest.png|left|thumb|250px|Cole's victory in the [[Second Battle of Harvest]].]]
By April 20, the [[Colonial Military Authority]] sent the scout ship {{CMAShip|Argo}} to investigate. Other then confirming its arrival at Epsilon Indi no other transmissions were sent, and the ''Argo'' was presumed MIA.

On October 7, [[UNSC Fleet Command|Fleet Command]] assembled [[Battle Group 4]] to investigate, due to the fact that the Harvest situation was deemed to have become serious. The battle group consisted of the destroyer {{CMAShip|Heracles}}, commanded by Captain [[Maribeau Veredi|Veredi]], as well as the frigates {{CMAShip|Arabia}} and {{CMAShip|Vostok}}. They entered the Harvest system only to find the planet's surface almost entirely melted down to [[Glassing|glass]]. While there, the battle group encountered a {{Pattern|Rasus|interdictor}}. This vessel immediately fired on the inferior human vessels, and the ''Vostok'' and ''Arabia'' were lost with all hands. The ''Heracles'' managed to jump out of the system, but took several weeks to return to Reach due to damage sustained in the battle. Upon hearing Veredi's report and realizing the scale of the threat, the UNSC was placed on full alert and a fleet was assembled to meet the threat.{{Ref/Novel|HFOR|Page=113|Detail=Definitive Edition}}{{clear}}

=====Harvest campaign=====
[[File:HW Trailer Battle.jpg|250px|thumb|Marine forces battle the Covenant in the frozen remnants of the formerly-lush planet.]]
[[Vice Admiral]] [[Preston J. Cole]] fought and barely won the [[Battle of Harvest]] in [[2526]]. The [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] was able to retake the planet but with the loss of 2/3 of their fleet, even when they had outnumbered the single [[Covenant starship|Covenant ship]] in Harvest orbit.<ref>''[[Halo Wars]]'', [[Halo Wars Timeline Events|Timeline]]</ref> Harvest would continue to be contested in the following years, as not long after, the Covenant attacked again. The [[Harvest campaign|battle for control of the planet]] lasted for five years until 2531, when Admiral Cole led a group of ships, including the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} into the system and neutralized the Covenant force. They later discovered that the Covenant had established a presence on the planet's surface, and more shockingly, had uncovered the previously unknown [[Forerunner]] relic which lead the ''Spirit of Fire'' to [[Arcadia]],{{Ref/Level|HW|Relic Interior}} where the Covenant then led them to [[Trove|a]] [[shield world]] where they were able to stop a major Covenant threat.

Ultimately, the Covenant once again returned to Harvest in [[2534]], glassing the planetary surface for a second and decisively final time.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=51}} After this event, Harvest was effectively abandoned by humanity.

[[File:WFHarvest.png|thumb|left|150px|Harvest after its glassing.]]
===Post-War===
In the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war era]], Harvest has yet to see any formal effort at reclamation or rehabitation by humanity, due in part to sorrow at the conflict which consumed the world and impracticality due to the planet's location in deep-space.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=44}} Software simulations of Harvest's [[space elevator]] base have been created by the UNSC for use in their [[War Games]] training exercises, with [[Harvest (map)|Map_Set/: 309-8]] used by [[Spartan Operations]] for such purposes.{{Ref/Map|Id=H4H|H4|Harvest (map)|Harvest}}{{Ref/Book|Id=VIS|H4EVG|Page=219}}{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

==Government and society==
[[File:FoRBootCamp - HarvestTown.png|thumb|250px|A settlement on Harvest.]]
Harvest was one of the [[Unified Earth Government]]'s more productive and peaceful colonies. 

The senior government official on Harvest was the [[Governor]]. The position was held by [[Nils Thune]] at the time of the planet's fall.{{Ref/Novel|HCH|Page=115}} The [[Parliament of Harvest]] was also involved in the planet's governance. It met in a [[Harvest Parliament Building|Parliament Building]] in [[Utgard]].{{Ref/Novel|HCH|Page=79}} One of its positions was the [[Wikipedia:Attorney general|Attorney General]], which was held by [[Rol Pedersen]] when the planet fell.

By 2524 the population of Harvest was 3,000,000,{{Ref/NoteReuse|population}} some of whom escaped during the initial Covenant attack. The [[city|capital city]] and its largest population center was [[Utgard]], also home to Harvest's [[seven]] [[harvest space elevators|space elevators]] connected to the orbital space station, [[Tiara]].

===Defenses===
The only functional defensive force on Harvest at the time of the Covenant attack was [[Harvest militia|its planetary branch]] of [[Colonial Militia]], consisting of two [[platoon]]s.{{Ref/Novel|HCH|Page=121}} Utgard also had its own [[law enforcement]] agency, the [[Utgard Constabulary]].{{Ref/Novel|HCH|Page=168}}

===Economy===
Within two decades of its founding, it had the highest per capita agricultural manufacture of any outer colony. Major crops, such as [[list of food and drinks|corn]]; [[list of food and drinks|wheat]]; [[list of food and drinks|watermelons]]; [[list of food and drinks|peaches]]; [[list of food and drinks|apples]]; [[list of food and drinks|grapes]], and numerous other foodstuffs nourished the inhabitants of more than half a dozen other colonies.

===Culture===
Harvest had its own [[Planetary anthem of Harvest|planetary anthem]] and an official planetary introduction narrated by the agricultural operations AI Mack. This introduction was played to visitors travelling to the planet via the Tiara's space elevators.{{Ref/Novel|HCH|Page=73-74}}

Residents of Harvest were known to partake in the [[Solstice Celebration]].{{Ref/Novel|HCH|Page=117}}
