Ven III

Ven III is a planet located on the outskirts of the Joint Occupation Zone.

History
Ven III is a small, almost uninhabited planet characterized by a maze-like environment with numerous caves and tunnels. During the Human-Covenant war, the planet was used on and off by the Covenant as a staging area for large offensives. At the conclusion of the war, Ven III was left unclaimed.

In May 2558, the UNSC Infinity was tasked to investigate a Covenant bioweapon research laboratory on Ven III. During the mission, Spartan Naiya Ray discovered a massive Kig-Yar pirate stronghold deep below the surface of the planet. In the postwar years, the planet had seemingly become a hot spot for Kig-Yar smugglers, arm dealers, and slavers.
