Venezia, referred to by the Sangheili as Sqala,[4] is a human Outer Colony[5] world located in the Orso system, formerly governed by the Unified Earth Government and now under the control of centralized insurrectionist militia. Most of the planet is unexplored; New Tyne is essentially the only settlement on the planet,[6] other than scattered farms and factories located ten to fifteen kilometers away from the city.[7] Many small animals lurk around the edges of these settlements.[8] Venezia experiences long, cold, winters, sometimes lasting as long as six Venzian months.[9]
Overview[edit]
Topography and ecology[edit]

History[edit]
Rise of humanity[edit]
Venezia was settled in 2450.[3]
Human-Covenant war[edit]
Venezia was squarely on the side of the Insurrection during that conflict that defined the turn of the twenty-sixth century. During the war between humanity and the Covenant, Venezia had gone quiet. Prior to January 2543, the colony cut all ties to the Unified Earth Government.[11] The local Colonial Administration Authority bureau on the world was famously destroyed via explosives by the residents.[12] Even after extinction of the human race was narrowly avoided thanks to the Covenant's undoing, people still remembered what Venezia had done prior to the empire's arrival in human space.[11]
