History[edit]
Post-war[edit]
Following the Human-Covenant War, Liang-Dortmund began work on a number of glassed planets. On Meridian, Liang-Dortmund began work on deglassing the surface.[4] Liang-Dortmund also began working below the surface of Ruthersburg.[10]
In 2556, Liang-Dortmund established the Alluvion Research Center (ARC) inside the perimeter of Forerunner pylons to research a new fuel type discovered at the bottom of the Sundark Sea. The pylons retracted a year later, costing Liang-Dortmund the ARC.[11]
Prior to the emergence of the Guardian Custode, Liang-Dortmund were in competition with Aquarius Terraforming Solutions for the rights to begin re-terraforming processes on Reach - though the necessary resource and territorial concessions required to make this possible made Aquarius the preferred candidate for the operation.[12]
Created uprising[edit]
- Main article: Created uprising
During the Created uprising the colony of Meridian suffered a devastating blow from Promethean forces trying to activate a Guardian in the Meridian complex. This resulted in civilians being evacuated and the colony's AI governor, Sloan, leaving his post. Afterwards, with Pinnacle Station destroyed, a civilian named Evelyn Collins was stranded on the colony.
