In [[2554]], Draco III was the site of insurrectionist activity when the [[United Rebel Front]] attempted to invade the planet by occupying New Albany, taking hostages and precipitating a standoff between themselves and the ruling UEG. The UNSC responded militarily, with the [[ODST]]s of [[Alpha-Nine]] under the command of Gunnery Sergeant [[Edward Buck]] and a team of [[SPARTAN-IV]]s led by [[Sarah Palmer]] among the responders. The combined UNSC forces eliminated the majority of URF soldiers throughout the city, cornering the rebels in New Albany's capital building where they had established a command post. The UNSC succeeded in retaking the building and killing all of the rebels, but at the cost of some soldiers, including Alpha-Nine's [[The Rookie|"rookie"]]. | |||
By [[2558]], the UNSC was offering flights once again to New Albany.<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]''', multiplayer map, ''[[Skyline (level)|Skyline]]''</ref> | |||
