| |
| 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]] [[Laru]] of {{UNSCShip|Donoma}} had attended a senior leadership course on Neos Atlantis together.<ref>''[[Halo: Retribution]]'', p. 39</ref>

| ==Production notes== | | ==Trivia== |
| "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. | | *"Neos Atlantis" means "Young Atlantis" in [[Human languages#Greek|Greek]]. The plant is likely named after [[wikipedia:Atlantis|Atlantis]], a fictional island from [[Greek mythology|Greek legend]]. |
