==History== | |||
It was discovered by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] late in the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2552|September 2552]] and was known to be defended by the [[26th Marine Expeditionary Force]], who suffered 'near annihilation' in the [[Battle of New Jerusalem]]. Upon arriving on the planet, the Covenant began to search for [[Forerunner]] artifacts. During the battle, several [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s went rouge in an attempt to steal a large supply of gold from a bank in the city of [[Mount Haven]]. However, when children were discovered in the bank's vault, a dispute began between the ODSTs. Some wanted to call in a [[Pelican]] dropship to rescue the civilians, while others wanted to abandon them.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Dirt]]", ''page 186''</ref> [[Gage Yevgenny]], having seen enough people die in the war, took a Pelican and retrieved the artifacts the Covenant was looking for. Large amounts of Covenant soldiers and rouge ODSTs followed him, however all perished when he detonated a [[Shiva-class nuclear missile|''Shiva''-class nuclear missile]] inside of his dropship.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Dirt]]", ''page 196''</ref> | |||
Following the battle, the UNSC forces retreated from the planet, leaving it to be [[Glassing|glassed]] by the Covenant.<ref name="dirt"/> [[The Rookie]] fought at New Jerusalem as part of the [[26th Marine Expeditionary Force]], before transferring to his [[Unnamed Shock Trooper Squad|current unit]].<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx '''Bungie.net''': ''Halo 3: ODST Field Guide - The Rookie'']</ref> | |||
