Arcadia as seen from its orbit.
A "tropical paradise", it was a popular destination for tourists[2] and received many shipments from Harvest.[3] It was also home to the Deep Space Research Array.[4] By 2531 it had a population of approximately three million. However, it became a site of conflict in 2531, caught up in the Human-Covenant War, after a Forerunner galactic map on Harvest pointed the Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee towards the colony on their way to a Shield World.[3] Eventually the Covenant were pushed off by the efforts of the crew of the 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 eventually return to Arcadia later in the war, destroying it.
Trivia
