Vodin

Vodin is a Unified Earth Government colony world.

History
Vodin was attacked by the Covenant in 2532 during the Human-Covenant War. In this engagement. the United Nations Space Command engaged the Covenant armada, deploying several Spartan-II supersoldiers against the Covenant forces to prevent them from destroying the planet's orbiting skyhooks. Among these Spartans was Randall-037.

The battle resulted in a victory for the Covenant, who destroyed the defending UNSC forces and the skyhooks before they proceeded to lay waste to Vodin. However, in spite of this serious defeat Vodin ultimately survived the battle and was only partially glassed. Randall-037 was among the battle's survivors, having fallen from one of the skyhooks down to the ocean below, where he was rescued by the surviving colonists. Although all communications with the UEG were lost, Vodin's colonists continued to stake out a living on the planet while Randall elected not to return to the UNSC and instead started anew among the colonists who saved his life. Vodin was one of the few UNSC colonies to survive a Covenant attack.
