New Jerusalem, formally designated as Cygnus III, was one of the two human Outer Colony worlds in the Cygnus system,[2] the other being Cygnus. The planet's capital city is also named New Jerusalem.[1]
History
Around 2524 and later, refugees during Eridanus II's Insurrection fled to the colony.[3]
The colony was discovered and attacked by the Covenant before or during July or August 2552[4] and was defended by the UNSC Army and the 26th Marine Expeditionary Force, who suffered "near annihilation" in the Battle of New Jerusalem. The Rookie was part of the 26th MEF and fought in the battle.[5]
Trivia
New Jerusalem is named after the city of Jerusalem in Israel and Palestinian territories, located on Earth in the Middle East.
