This article is about the human colony. For the Halcyon-class light cruiser, see UNSC Constantinople.

New Constantinople was a human colony world, governed by the Unified Earth Government. In early 2537,[1] a major battle between the United Nations Space Command and the Covenant occurred in the planet's system. Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb distinguished himself in this engagement,[2] as did the Spartan-IIIs from Alpha Company.[3][4]

Trivia

The planet is named after the capital city of the former Byzantine Empire, Constantinople.
