Actium was a human colony world likely situated within the Inner Colonies of the Unified Earth Government's interstellar empire. Actium was the homeworld of Captain Veronica Dare.[1]
History
The colony was discovered by the Covenant Empire in May 2545 and the proceeding Battle of Actium took place for less than a month, ending in the total destruction of nearby UNSC defenses and the worlds inevitable glassing. Before that happened, however, the planet's defenders managed to inflict heavy casualties on the Covenant. [2]
Trivia
The colony is likely named after Actium, a promontory in western Greece which was the site of a major battle during the Final War of the Roman Republic.
