{{Quote|I watched the entire event; the Covenant arrival via Slipspace, the plasma bombardment, the cearful immolation of evry vital part of the planet. Such a massive fleet. Much larger than what they usually use to eradicate one of our colonies.|Dr. Hasley}}
By [[2531]], it had a population of approximately three million. However, it became a [[First Battle of Arcadia|site of conflict]] in [[2531]], caught up in the [[Human-Covenant War]], after a Forerunner [[Relic (Structure)|stellar map]] on [[Harvest]] pointed the [[Arbiter (Rank)|Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] towards the colony. Over the course of the battle, the Covenant managed to extract the location of a [[Shield World (Halo Wars)|Shield World]] from the ruins. Eventually, the Covenant were pushed off by the efforts of the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, allowing much of its civilian populace to be evacuated. The capital city of [[Pirth]] would soon become overtaken by nature. Meanwhile, the remaining colonists formed the farming community of [[Abaskun]] on the continent of [[Mu]]. It would remain a mostly lawless region, but continued to supply the UNSC with food. The Covenant would [[Second Battle of Arcadia|return]] to Arcadia later in [[2549]], [[glassing]] it.
