Outer Colonies: Difference between revisions

After the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in early [[2553]], tensions in the remaining Outer Colonies were on the rise again. Some of the colonies had cut off communications with the UNSC during the war, using the chaos to their advantage. [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] set off on a diplomatic mission across the colonies to discuss reconstruction, but some refused his offer, feeling that the UNSC abandoned them during the war.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''pages 68-70''</ref> Some Outer Colonies seeking to extend their autonomy from the UEG favored small, long-range, slipspace-capable utility craft such as the [[D81-LRT Condor]] to scout potential trade routes and manage diplomatic relations with other worlds, allowing them to avoid the UNSC's control over interstellar commerce.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/d81-lrt-condor '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Condor'']</ref> The UEG and UNSC initiated a recolonization campaign after the Covenant War, with efforts to reclaim every world that humanity had lost during the war. One of the first to be resettled, [[Draco III]] was fully populated once more by [[2554]] and served as a staging ground in furthering the effort to reestablish control and contact with the other outlying worlds. By [[2558]], several glassed Outer Colonies had been recolonized to some degree by the UEG, including Eridanus II<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]''', multiplayer level ''[[Skyline]]''</ref> and [[Biko]].<ref>'''[[Hunt the Truth]]''', ''Episode 08: DRIP, DRIP, DRIP''</ref>
