'''Gold''' (pronounced /ˈɡoʊld/) is a a highly sought-after metal. | |||
==History== | |||
Due to its preciousness to [[human]]s, in [[2552]], a group of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] on [[New Jerusalem]] plotted to steal a large amount of gold bullion from a bank in [[Covenant]]-occupied [[Mount Haven]]. However, their plan was scuttled when they discovered a class of schoolchildren and [[Julian|their teacher]] hiding in the vault. An argument erupted amongst the Marines over whether or not the children should be allowed to live. The would-be thieves turned on one another and several were killed in a point-blank shootout. The children fled while one of the remaining Marines took the gold, several [[Forerunner]] relics, and a [[nuclear weapon|nuclear device]]. They then lured in the advancing Covenant and the [[Treason|traitorous]] Marines, and detonated the nuke, destroying it all.<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]'', "[[Dirt]]"</ref> | |||
Gold ore donated by the [[National government|member nations]] of the [[East African Protectorate]] was to be used to erect a statue of [[John-117]] in the [[United Nations Space Command Memorial Park]] in [[New Mombasa]] in commemoration of the [[Spartan]]'s actions during the [[Battle of Mombasa]].<ref>''[[McFarlane Toys/Halo Point Prizes]]'', [[McFarlane Toys/Halo Point Prizes#Master Chief|Campaign Master Chief]]</ref> | |||
