Mamore

Mamore is a UNSC colony world in the Eridanus System. It is one of the few UNSC worlds that have not been glassed.

In 2511 a terrorist bomber from the Freedom and Liberation Party detonated a commercial nuclear explosive in the Haven arcology, killing 2 million people and injuring 8.3 million others. In 2537, there was an Insurrection on Mamore, which was quickly and effectively put down by SPARTAN-III Alpha Company.

Being sent to the Mamore colony is mentioned as a threat to Dorking in order to get him to believe Rani's story during the raid on Chawla Base when they're trying to find and turn off the Deep-Space Artifact. Also mentioned during the raid is that there is some type of social group called the Kelorists who are all from Mamore. The group has unique tattoo, a cross in the circle, that they use as a symbol of their association as a Kelorist.
