New Gangwon: Difference between revisions

'''New Gangwon''' is a [[Human colonies|human colony]] or settlement administered by the [[UNSC]]. It is presumably named after [[Wikipedia:Gangwon Province (South Korea)|Gangwon Province]] of [[Korea]].<ref group="note"> It is also possible that "New Gangwon" represents a reconstitution of the historical [[Wikipedia:Gangwon Province (historical)|Gangwon Province]], which was divided into the southern Gangwon Province and the northern [[Wikipedia:Kangwon Province (North Korea)|Kangwon Province]] during the twentieth-century partitioning of Korea. When Korea reunited at some point before twenty-sixth century, it is possible that these two provinces were again reunited under the name "New Gangwon". That New Gangwon might be located within Korea on [[Earth]] is made more plausible by the fact that New Gangwon is known to be home to weapons development facilities, as Korea is a noted center of UNSC weapons research and development. However, most localities throughout human occupied space that have "New" in their name are extra-terrestrial colonies; lacking definitive proof to the contrary, this article therefore assumes that this is also the case of New Gangwon.</ref> New Gangwon is known to be home to an [[ONI]] weapons research facility.
