Talitsa

Talitsa is an outer colony under control of the United Rebel Front. Talitsa was one of the few worlds left unscathed by the Covenant. It had a strong anti-centralization and pro-colonial autonomy sentiment, even before the Human-Covenant War. The UNSC managed to halt several early political uprisings in the colony’s major population centers, but this only fostered a more radical form of dissent, now in the form of secluded and heavily armed redoubts. Ultimately, these sites provided the foundation for a number of major political movements. The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Wetwork, a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2), was tested against the United Rebel Front on this planet. A simulation of a rebel stronghold was later used by the UNSC Infinity's SPARTAN-IV complement for training.
