Karnak is a city located in Lombard on the human colony world of Draco III. The city was known for a large fishing industry, and the Gold Sea was located off the coast of Karnak.[1] Karnak was home to the Leeward's dive bar, a tiny airport, and a UNSC recruiting office.[2] It was Edward Buck's place of residence in 2552.[3]
History
When the Covenant invaded Draco III in 2545, starving Kig-Yar and Unggoy massacred the city's residents.[4] While the Covenant used the world as a hunting ground, Karnak was partially glassed by Covenant vessels. Entire neighbourhoods, dozens of kilometers wide, were glassed entirely, while most of the city's high-rise buildings were destroyed. However, the docks were cleaned up by colonists that resettled on the planet following the Human-Covenant War. After the rebellion on Draco III in 2554, Edward Buck returned to Karnak.[2] While drinking at Leeward's bar, he was visited by Jun-A266 who offered him and his team a place in the second class of the SPARTAN-IV program; he accepted.[5]
Trivia
The city is likely named after Karnak, an ancient complex of ruins in Egypt.
