Mamore
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Mamore is a human colony world in the Eridanus sector.[1][2] It is one of the few UNSC worlds that have not been glassed.[citation needed]
History
In 2511, a terrorist bomber from the Freedom and Liberation Party detonated a commercial nuclear explosive in the Haven arcology, killing 2 million people and injuring 8.3 million others.[2]
In 2537, there was an insurrection on Mamore. This uprising was quickly and effectively put down by SPARTAN-III Alpha Company.[3]
SPARTAN-B312 participated in a counter-insurgency operation on Mamore on May 10, 2552. During the operation, the SPARTAN's talents as a Sabre pilot were exhibited. This won Colonel Urban Holland's approval and led to the SPARTAN's assignment to Noble Team.[4]
Rani Sobeck threatened Dorking with being sent to Mamore during the raid on Chawla Base. Sobeck also mentioned the Kelorists, who are all from Mamore. The group has unique tattoo, a cross in a circle, that they use as a symbol of their association as a Kelorist.[5]

Trivia
- The colony is likely named after Mamora, a coastal town in Morocco. It fell to the Moors in 1515 and became a haven for the dreaded Barbary corsairs.
