HistoryEdit

Rise of humanityEdit

Asmara was colonized by humanity in 2482.[1]

Human-Covenant warEdit

In 2529,[1] Asmara was discovered and attacked by the Covenant.[3] Gage Yevgenny's team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers was involved in the defense of the planet. One ODST to die in the battle was Mason, after a Sangheili speared him along with ten other ODSTs with an energy sword before Gage got off a near point-blank shot with a missile launcher.[2] Ultimately, the United Nations Space Command would be unable to repel the invaders from Asmara and the world was glassed.[1][3]

TriviaEdit

  • The colony is likely named for the city of Asmara, the capital of Eritrea.
