New Carthage, known as Kaphus to the Forerunners,[1] is a human colony planet of the Unified Earth Government, located among the Inner Colonies.[2] The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Infiltrator, developed by Hannibal Weapon Systems, was tested on the orbital defense platforms above New Carthage.[3] The Hannibal Weapon Systems facility also developed multiple MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor variants at Kotka, Pori on New Carthage.[4][5]

New Carthage is host to the New Carthage Sprint Series, a competitive motorsport event that features the colony's deadly wildlife, rugged terrain, heavy weapons, and talented driving skill.[6] The Great red shark is an indigenous species native to the planet.[7] New Carthage is the homeworld of Dr. Henry Glassman.[8]
History
In 2554, two DAS-class storm cutters, Mark of Prophecy and Divine Breath, were being used by Kig-Yar engaged in smuggling and piracy near New Carthage. The two ships had a deadly encounter with the Gladius-class corvette UNSC Sagan Blue.[9] At some point a thermal reactor located underneath the city of Pilvros was failing, and as a result the city was evacuated.[10]
