===Topography and ecology===

Camber had vast blue oceans and large, sprawling continents. One of the largest continents featured a massive desert or plains biome, with greener environments closer to the eastern coast. Camber had breathable air and comfortable gravity for [[human]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Term2}} Following the moon's glassing at the hands of the [[Covenant]], large portions of its surface became desolate, but its atmosphere remained intact. Drastic changes to Camber's climate has resulted in frequent storms.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}}

==History==

===UNSC powerhouse===

Camber was a major manufacturing center for [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] fleet materials. As such, it held critical importance to the UNSC war effort and maintained its own grid of [[orbital defense platform]]s, as well as a formidable defensive fleet that included {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}}s and {{Class|Paris|heavy frigate}}s. In one of the colony's cities, the UNSC had a key system headquarters where the [[3rd Battalion Reserves]] were stationed.{{Ref/Reuse|Term2}}

These early attacks set the stage for the Covenant to return to Camber in [[2546]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} [[Supreme Commander]] [[Thel 'Vadamee]]'s [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] was deployed with the goal of cleansing the moon of its human inhabitants and destroying the local UNSC headquarters.{{Ref/Reuse|Term2}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}} 'Vadamee and his fleet caught UNSC forces completely unprepared, penetrating the defensive fleet's early warning perimeter without alerting UNSC forces. After diverting seventeen of his ships to target key ground targets, 'Vadamee himself participated in the attack on the UNSC's headquarters. The battle was over shortly and Camber was [[glassing|glassed]], with only 81,313 of the orignal 5.6 million population surviving.{{Ref/Reuse|Term2}} Camber's glassing left large swaths of its surface desolate. Despite this, its atmosphere remained intact, with the moon suffering volatile changes to its climate and frequent storms.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}}

===Banished occupation===

In the years following Camber's destruction, the [[Banished]] moved in and took possession of several UNSC assets that had been left behind. They began to refit and repurpose the ruins into tools to serve their needs.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}} By [[2560]], the Banished had established an expansive shipbreaking yard on the site of the previously destroyed UNSC fleet depot in [[Chiltift Basin]].{{Ref/Reuse|S2Intro}}{{Ref/Site|Id=S2Intel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Infinite|Detail=Season 02 Lone Wolves - Intel|D=09|M=10|Y=2022}}  Here, they melted down titanium with a powerful plasma drill, reforging the material into weapons of war.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}}
