'''Neos Atlantis''' is a [[planet]] in the [[Alcides system]] and a [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] of the [[Unified Earth Government]], located in an ambiguous zone between the [[Inner Colonies|Inner]] and [[Outer Colonies]].{{Ref/Reuse|ANT}}

==Overview==
===Topography===
The planet has a green, icy surface.<ref name="hss51">''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', p. 51</ref> One of the most notable landmarks on the planet's surface is the [[Theran Crown]], a gloomy, spire-studded cryovolcano ringed by green ice cliffs. Although Neos Atlantis features surface habitats,{{Ref/Reuse|ANT}} these are sealed from the exterior due to the planet's toxic atmosphere.{{Ref/Reuse|twitter}}
====Locations====
*[[Liberty District]]
**[[UNSC Recreational Facility 6055-NA-A]]
*[[Theran Crown]]

==History==
===Human-Covenant war===
In [[2526#March|March 2526]], during the early stages of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[11th Marine Force Reconnaissance/ODST]] was stationed on Neos Atlantis, before moving to engage the emerging [[Covenant]] threat in the [[Outer Colonies]].{{Ref/Reuse|hss51}} [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Clovis Petriv]] of the [[Incident Response and Investigation]] branch and [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Laru]] of {{UNSCShip|Donoma}} had attended a senior leadership course on Neos Atlantis together.<ref>''[[Halo: Retribution]]'', p. 39</ref>

===Post-war===
On [[2553#October|October 14, 2553]], an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] [[Ferret]] team consisting of [[Veta Lopis]], [[Mark-G313]], [[Olivia-G291]], and [[Ash-G099]] were conducting a training exercise in [[UNSC Recreational Facility 6055-NA-A]] situated in the [[Liberty District]], which turned into a fight for their lives after they came under fire from multiple hostiles ostensibly under the direction of [[Dark Moon Enterprises]].{{Ref/Reuse|ANT}}

==Government and society==
Neos Atlantis is a high-security world surrounded by orbital maintenance docks that only service [[United Nations Space Command]] military vessels. These installations employ close to 100,000 [[civilian]] technicians. The UNSC maintains recreational facilities on the planet which are reserved for the sole use of [[UNSC Naval Command|fleet]] personnel due to security concerns.{{Ref/Reuse|ANT}} The planet's military installations host a Commander's Spa for use by UNSC [[commissioned officer]]s.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=16}}

==Behind the scenes==
"Neos Atlantis" means "Young Atlantis" in [[Human languages#Greek|Greek]]. The green-colored ice surrounding the Theran Crown could indicate the presence of some form of algae-like organisms, and thus life, on the planet. The discoloration could also be due to other impurities, such as sediments or air bubbles.
