New Constantinople

New Constantinople was a human colony world.

Between 2536 and 2537 a major battle between UNSC and Covenant forces occurred in the planet's system. Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb distinguished himself in this engagement, as did the Spartan-IIIs from Alpha Company. However, the battle was lost and the Covenant glassed the planet.

Trivia
The planet is most likely named after the capital city of the former Byzantine Empire, Constantinople.
