'''New Tyne''' is a city on [[Venezia]] home to a very heterogeneous population, consisting of [[human]]s, [[Kig-Yar]], [[Jiralhanae]], [[Sangheili]]<ref>'''[[Halo: Fractures]]''', ''[[Into the Fire]]''</ref>, and [[Unggoy]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 440''</ref> New Tyne is essentially the only settlement on Venezia<ref name="md226"/>, making it the most prominent location on the planet.<ref name="md226">'''[[Halo: Mortal Dictata]]''', ''page 226''</ref> It is a hotspot for [[insurrectionist]] activity and a refuge for deserters and criminals of all species. Everyone pracitcally knows one another in New Tyne. The city has an armed [[Venezian militia|militia]] that stands in opposition to the claimed control by the [[Unified Earth Government]], headed by [[Peter Moritz]].<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 159''</ref>

In [[2553|March 2553]], [[Malcolm Geffen]] and [[Vasily Beloi]] infiltrated New Tyne with the help of [[Mike Spenser]]. It was here they discovered that [[Staffan Sentzke]], [[Naomi-010]]'s father, had joined the Insurrectionist movement.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 449''</ref> Later, in April of that year, [[Kilo-Five]] resumed their investigation of New Tyne following actions on [[Sanghelios]]. Naomi and Vaz alerted Spenser when they spotted Sentzke in company with Shipmaster [[Sav Fel]], the possessor of the stolen Covenant battlecruiser ''[[Pious Inquisitor]]''. Naomi and Vaz went to [[Stavros' Middle East Asian Cuisine and Bar|Stavros's bar]] where they met [[Nairn]], a member of the militia. Later on, Mal and Vaz also met up with Nairn and successfully infiltrated the militia. After Sav mysteriously disappeared, his mate, [[Nor Fel]], consolidated power and wealth in New Tyne in the form of a [[Nor Fel's clearing house|a clearing house]]. By [[2557#January|January 2557]], the [[United Nations Space Command]] had stationed a buyer in New Tyne to recover military assets lost during the [[Human-Covenant War]] that were being sold in clearing house auctions.<ref>'''[[Halo: Fractures]]''', ''[[Into the Fire]], page 301''</ref>

New Tyne is a small town with a mixed population and is under the de facto governance of the [[Venezian militia]]. Scattered farms and factories are found ten to fifteen kilometers away from the city.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 97''</ref> The town itself has small homes, buildings, and office blocks that are generally similar in appearance. Anti-air batteries are placed on the corners of some of the city's intersections.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page ???''</ref> The south end of New Tyne is home to an old slate quarry and 15 [[Mount Longdon Road]], [[Staffan Sentzke]]'s homestead.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 55''</ref> The quarry was formed during the excavation of sandstone for the city. It was later converted into a cathedral-like hangar whch holds numerous aircrafts for the militia.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 103''</ref> Numerous bars are found throughout the town such as [[Stavros' Middle East Asian Cuisine and Bar]]<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 94''</ref> and [[Tiny Birds]]. The latter is considered the worst dive bar New Tyne has to offer and is tucked a one-story retail mall on its southern outskirts. South of New Tyne, there is a large, uninhabited forest.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 216''</ref> The western side of the town is bordered by a river. [[Shipmaster]] [[Sav Fel]] lived in a large manor five kilometers west of the city.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 59''</ref>
