'''Lake Autolycus''' was a lake on [[Luna]] in the mid-22nd century. In [[2167#August|August of 2167]], the leader of the [[Koslovic]]s, [[Vladimir Koslov]], and his family, were killed in a bombing near this lake. While the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] denied involvement, many believed that the [[Frieden]]s, which were also at war with the Koslovics, were not capable of carrying out such an attack. | '''Lake Autolycus''' was a lake on [[Luna]] in the mid-22nd century.

==Trivia== | |||
The term "Lake" does not necessarily refer to a body of water; in the context of discussing lunar geography, the term Lake (or ''[[Wikipedia:List of maria on the Moon#Lacus|Lacus]]'') is used to describe basaltic regions smaller than lunar seas (or ''Maria''), with real-world examples including [[Wikipedia:Lacus Autumni|Lacus Autumni]] ("Lake of Autumn") and [[Wikipedia:Lacus Doloris|Lacus Doloris]] ("Lake of Sorrow") - among others. No current real-world ''Lacus'' bear the name Lake Autolycus, though the location does share its name with the [[Wikipedia:Autolycus (crater)|Autolycus impact crater]] - it is unknown whether this location's namesake refers to a ''Lacus'' or a physical body of water present on the moon by the [[2200 BCE|22nd Century]]. | |||
