-The colony was discovered by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] in [[2552|September 2552]] and was known to be defended by the [[26th Marine Expeditionary Force]], who suffered "near annihilation" in the [[Battle of New Jerusalem]]. Upon arriving on the planet, the Covenant began to search for [[Forerunner]] artifacts. During the battle, several [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s went rogue; attempting to steal a large cache of gold from a bank in the city of [[Mount Haven]]. However, when children were discovered in the bank's vault, a dispute began between the ODSTs. Some wanted to call in a [[Pelican]] dropship to rescue the civilians, while others wanted to abandon them.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Dirt]]", ''page 186''</ref> [[Gage Yevgenny]], having seen enough people die in the war, took a Pelican and retrieved the artifacts the Covenant was looking for.
