Emerald Cove

Emerald Cove was a human colony world. During their training the Spartan-II were sent on an underwater mission to the planet with with Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez. Mendez sabotaged half of the Spartans' air tanks; they stole his in retaliation. They then, as Anton-044 humorously said, "ditched him and camped out on an island for a week, with nothing to do but light bonfires, bake clams, and surf". It was a good memory they all enjoyed sharing. The colony was also the homeworld of Michael Sullivan, Senior Communications Director of the Office of Naval Intelligence.

In 2542 the UNSC abandoned Emerald Cove due to the threat of the Covenant, though it is unclear whether the planet was glassed.
