'''New Jerusalem''' | '''New Jerusalem''' was a large [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] world in the [[Cygnus system]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 61''</ref> The city of [[Mount Haven]] was located on the colony.<ref name="dirt">'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Dirt]]"</ref><ref group="note">It has been confirmed in a comment by [[Tobias Buckell]] [http://goingrampant.blogspot.com/2010/03/examination-of-female-characters-part-3.html here] that the rookie in ''Dirt'' is the same character as The Rookie from ''Halo 3: ODST''. Thus, the battle depicted in the story has to be the Battle of New Jerusalem, as it was the last battle in which The Rookie participated before the [[Battle of Earth]].</ref> | ||
==History== | ==History== | ||
The colony was discovered by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] in [[2552|September 2552]] and was known to be defended by the [[26th Marine Expeditionary Force]], who suffered "near annihilation" in the [[Battle of New Jerusalem]]. Upon arriving on the planet, the Covenant began to search for [[Forerunner]] artifacts. During the battle, several [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s went rogue; attempting to steal a large cache of gold from a bank in the city of [[Mount Haven]]. However, when children were discovered in the bank's vault, a dispute began between the ODSTs. Some wanted to call in a [[Pelican]] dropship to rescue the civilians, while others wanted to abandon them.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Dirt]]", ''page 186''</ref> [[Gage Yevgenny]], having seen enough people die in the war, took a Pelican and retrieved the artifacts the Covenant was looking for. Drawing pursuers to his position, Gage proceeded to detonate a [[Shiva-class nuclear missile|''Shiva''-class nuclear missile]] inside his dropship; obliterating both the rogue ODSTs and groundside Covenant invaders.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Dirt]]", ''page 196''</ref> | |||
Following the battle, UNSC forces retreated from the planet, leaving it to be [[Glassing|glassed]] by the Covenant.<ref name="dirt"/> [[The Rookie]] fought at New Jerusalem as part of the [[26th Marine Expeditionary Force]], before transferring to his [[Unnamed Shock Trooper Squad|current unit]].<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx '''Bungie.net''': ''Halo 3: ODST Field Guide - The Rookie'']</ref> | |||
