'''Terra Cimmeria''' is a large region in the southern highlands of [[Mars]]. At the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], its southern dunes had become home to the [[Unified Earth Government]]'s reserve, a network of [[refugee]] camps.<ref name="envoy73">'''[[Halo: Envoy]]''', ''page 73'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Although relatively comfortable,<ref>'''Halo: Envoy''', ''page 26'' (Google Play edition)</ref> the refugees lived in cramped huts, having fled to the reserve from [[Inner Colonies]] and [[Outer Colonies]] attacked by the [[Covenant]], including [[Arcadia]] and [[Carrow]].{{Ref/Anthology|Id=oasis|HFra|Story=Oasis}}


==History==
Upon arriving at the reserve after having escaped Arcadia's [[Second Fall of Arcadia|fall]] in [[2549]], [[Jordan Gaines]]' father quickly rose to a leadership position within the camps. In [[2552#November|November 2552]], Mars was attacked by the Covenant when the [[High Prophet of Truth]]'s [[fleet]]s systematically bombarded every colony within the [[Sol system]]. Terra Cimmeria and its reserve were targeted, resulting in the deaths of several refugees, including Gaines' father.<ref name="gaines">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/jordan-gaines '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Jordan Gaines'']</ref> The surviving refugees took shelter in bomb shelters located on the reserve until the Covenant collapsed and the war ended in the following weeks.<ref>'''Halo: Envoy''', ''page 26'' (Google Play edition)</ref>

In [[2552#November|November 2552]], [[Defense of Mars|Mars was attacked]] by the Covenant when the [[High Prophet of Truth]]'s [[fleet]]s systematically bombarded every colony within the [[Sol system]]. Terra Cimmeria and its reserve appeared to have been targeted, with [[Jeff Gass]] being covered in soot before he and others would take shelter in bomb shelters located on the reserve.{{Ref/Novel|Env|Chapter=8}}
Following the war, the Unified Earth Government enacted a population dispersal effort to find homes for the millions of refugees in the Sol system. Many chose to remain in the Sol system, while others sought out new homes. Nearly a million refugees from Terra Cimmeria relocated to the abandoned world of Carrow to rebuild away from the UEG.{{Ref/Reuse|envoy73}}
 
===Postwar===
For a couple years following the war, many refugees still remained in the reserve. The Unified Earth Government would eventually enact a population dispersal effort. Many refugees considered remaining in the Sol system, though many would go to Carrow.{{Ref/Reuse|env6}}
