New Jerusalem was one of the two human Outer Colony worlds in the Cygnus system,[1] the other being Cygnus.[note 1]
History
The colony was discovered and attacked by the Covenant before or during July or August 2552[2] and was known to be defended by the UNSC Army and 26th Marine Expeditionary Force, who suffered "near annihilation" in the Battle of New Jerusalem. The Rookie was part of the 26th MEF and fought in the battle.[3]
Trivia
New Jerusalem is named after the city of Jerusalem in Israel and Palestinian territories, located on Earth, in the middle east.
List of appearances
- Halo: Contact Harvest Template:First mentioned
- ONI Candidate Assessment Program V5.02A (Mentioned only)
Notes
- ^ The Rookie's article on Halo Waypoint indicates that New Jerusalem is a location on the colony world Cygnus rather than a separate planet in the same system. However, Halo: Contact Harvest unambiguously states that New Jerusalem is one of the two colony worlds in the system.
