New Tyne is a city on Venezia home to a very heterogeneous population, consisting of humans, Kig-Yar, Unggoy, and Jiralhanae.[1] New Tyne was essentially the only settlement on Venezia.[2]
History
New Tyne is the most prominent location on Venezia. It is a hotspot for Insurrectionist activity and a refuge for both human and non-human deserters and criminals. It was the kind of place where everybody practically knew everyone. The city had an armed militia under the control of a centralized Insurrectionist leadership headed by Peter Moritz.[3]
In March 2553, Malcolm Geffen and Vasily Beloi infiltrated the city with the help of Mike Spenser. They discovered Jiralhanae, Kig-Yar and Unggoy were all operating out of here. It was here that they discovered Staffan Sentzke, Naomi-010's father, had joined the Insurrectionist movement.[4]
Later in April, Kilo-Five resumed their investigation of New Tyne. Naomi and Vaz alerted Spenser when they spotted Sentzke in company with Shipmaster Sav Fel, the possessor of the stolen Covenant battlecruiser Pious Inquisitor. Before Naomi was substituted with Mal, she and Vaz went to Stavros's bar where they met Nairn, a member of the milita. Later on, Mal and Vaz met with Nairn and successfully infiltrated the local militia.
