History
Once a territory of Arcadia, Abaskun was known for its rich farmland.

Human-Covenant War
During the Battle for Arcadia, Arcadia's main population centres were destroyed in the fighting, including Abaskun. Despite this destruction, the city continued to see human habitation for some time after the battle's end, with Arcadian survivors returning to Abaskun and re-establishing it as a small and rural farming community. Abaskun would continue to serve as an agricultural base for the Inner Colonies for the next eighteen years until the Covenant's return to the planet on September 9, 2549.

As the Covenant began glassing the planet, hundreds of civilian transports attempted to flee the destruction, including ones from Abaskun.

Trivia
Abaskun was a port on the southeastern shore of the Caspian Sea that existed during the Middle Ages.
