New Constantinople

New Constantinople is a human colony world in the Thrace system, governed by the Unified Earth Government.

History
New Constantinople was colonized by the Unified Earth Government in 2436.

In early 2537, a major battle between the United Nations Space Command and the Covenant occurred in the planet's system. Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb distinguished himself in this engagement, as did the Spartan-IIIs from Alpha Company. Despite the success of the UNSC Navy, the Covenant returned to New Constantinople in 2539 and glassed the colony.

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