Falaknuma was a human colony world in the 18 Scorpii system. It was home to a minor UNSC Navy base for the Prowler Corps.[1]

In 2535, Lieutenant Jacob Keyes escorted Habitat Exodus to this colony using the UNSC Midsummer Night.[1] The Exodus asteroid then disintegrated and its debris created a navigational hazard around the planet, which according to experts would take years to deorbit and burn up.[2] Following the evacuation of the surviving Rubble population from Exodus, they were placed in refugee camps across Falaknuma.[2] Ignatio Delgado later enlisted in the UNSC Navy in Halkia, Falaknuma.[3]

Trivia

The colony is likely named for Falaknuma Palace, one of the finest palaces in Hyderabad, India.
