Rise of humanity
An insurrectionist camp was once stationed on the planet, holding prisoners they interrogated for data against the UNSC.[8]
Human-Covenant war
In 2530,[9] the planet was glassed by the Covenant[4] in the Siege of Dwarka.
Post-war
After the war, the fetcher Oliver Birch came across a relatively intact and abandoned colony ship among the planet's field of debris, CAA Butterworth. The only survivor aboard the ship was a three-legged dog, Mabel.[10]
