==History== | |||
===Rise of humanity=== | |||
Cascade was founded in [[2435]]. The first wave colonists settled and remained in several core metroplexes.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
===Human-Covenant War=== | |||
{{Main|Human-Covenant War}} | |||
The UEG spent a considerable amount of resources on the planet to replace losses elsewhere in human space. As well, skilled technical and engineering personnel from other Outer Colonies ended up on the world. To defend all of this, a naval depot was established on the world in [[2530]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
===Post-war=== | |||
After the war, Cascade emerged as one of the most urbanized, richest surviving colonies.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Several major corporations in [[Mindoro]], the [[city|capital city]] of Cascade, backed the construction of a new [[space elevator]] in the city. The elevator's terminus, [[Nova Austin Station]], was slated to become the most important commercial [[spaceport]] on the planet when completed. This construction site was reproduced as a [[War Games]] simulation for the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s SPARTAN-IV complement.{{Ref/Map|Id=skyline|H4|[[Skyline]]}}{{Ref/Site|URL=http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/02/20/The-Halo-Bulletin-22013.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=The Halo Bulletin 2.20.13|D=20|M=02|Y=2013}} | |||
In the post-Covenant War years, conflict also arose on Cascade, which led to the deployment of [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IVs]] to the planet. [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR GEN2's]] [[outer-plated]] gauntlets were developed for the Spartans fighting on Cascade.{{Ref/Game|H4|[[Armor customization (Halo 4)|Armory]]: [[Outer-plated]] Leg Description|Quote=Outer-plated vambrace conceived on Cascade.}} The [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Protector]] GEN2 variant was used in raids on Mindoro and [[Volamon]] on Cascade.{{Ref/Book|H4EVG|Page=160}} Additionally, the [[ODST armor#MJOLNIR GEN2 variant|MJOLNIR (GEN2) ODST armor]] was also produced on the planet.{{Ref/Site|Id=bulletin7.10.13|URL=http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/07/10/The-Halo-Bulletin-71013.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=The Halo Bulletin 7.10.13|D=26|M=11|Y=2013}} | |||
