Madrigal

Madrigal was a UNSC colony world in the 23 Librae system. It was the closest world to Harvest in 2525. The colony was glassed by the Covenant, but the survivors fled to the gas giant of Hesiod, where they settled into the asteroid belt.

Behind the Scenes

 * Before the release of Halo: The Cole Protocol, some fans believed that Madrigal's star would be Lacaille 8760. However, The Cole Protocol revealed that Madrigal was in the 23 Librae system, which, at 83 lightyears from Earth, seems too far to be the closest world to Harvest. However, if one considers that the UNSC has 800 worlds under its control, and the number of places on Earth that share the same name, it would not be unreasonable to imagine that there is more than one planet named Madrigal.


 * Madrigal was a city in Bungie's Myth series, as well in the Siege of Madrigal, a music piece from Marathon, and as such is a nod to two separate Bungie-made series.


 * Most of Madrigal`s population seemed to be of Latino descent.
