{{Halopedia:Main Page/Random/Layout|Feldokra|File:HINF Concept FeldokraCity.png|Known as "Faithful Perseverance" to the San'Shyuum, Feldokra is a Sangheili colony and ocean-moon orbiting the planet Dokra-Movi in the Zethro'Kal system. Initially colonized by the great sea clans of Sangheili history, the Covenant would later build enormous structures across the world's surface, citadels that would serve the highest echelon of military personnel, second only to the towers of High Charity itself. During the construction of these massive complexes, countless Forerunner fuel and power facilities were discovered in Feldokra's ocean trenches. The planet's deep seas also host several mines where precious materials are collected and used in the production of military hardware.}}

{{Halopedia:Main Page/Random/Layout|Have S'Moa|File:H5G HaveS'moa.jpg|Have S'Moa is a restaurant and petting zoo located on Gannick 22, a human Inner Colony world. Owned by entrepreneur Wiljax Brantley, the business makes its money from Moa, bird-like creatures native to Reach. When that planet was glassed in 2552, Have S'Moa was lucky enough to have just received a shipment of Moa from Reach. The sudden scarcity of Moa caused their value to skyrocket, and it made Brantley a very wealthy man. His Moa nuggets and burgers are still popular meals in the post-war period.}}
