'''Oban''' is a mountainous [[moon]] of [[Mull]] in the [[Visper system]] and a [[human]] [[Inner Colony]] of the [[Unified Earth Government]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Book|[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]|Page=228}} | |||
==Overview== | |||
===Topography and ecology=== | |||
Oban's vast continent of Saviron is home to a highlands region of mountains interspersed with high-altitude grassy terrain.{{Ref/Reuse|Bulletin}} By late 2558, at least one large city was located on the moon before much of it was destroyed during the Guardian's activation.{{Ref/Reuse|Osiris}} | |||

==History== | |||
===Postwar=== | |||
After the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[United Nations Space Command]] discovered Oban and colonized the moon in [[2553]] as an [[Inner Colony]]. Oban was originally intended to serve as an UNSC stronghold with an expansive military presence and dozens of research facilities,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} however Oban instead became home for millions of [[human]] [[refugee]]s who settled in makeshift camps across the coastal regions of [[Saviron]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Site|Id=Bulletin|URL=http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/03/13/The-Halo-Bulletin-31313.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Bulletin 3.13.13}} Some of these refugees came from [[New Mombasa]].{{Ref/Novel|[[Halo: Envoy]]|Chapter=16}} Many of Oban's refugees were used to rich and manicured lifestyles on their lost homeworlds, but have been forced to live a bleak existence at salvage and waste processing sites. Overtime, Oban's colonists have seen considerable improvements.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
The [[UNSC Navy]] maintained a presence on the moon, using it as a staging ground for a number of highly classified military exercises, including [[Operation: DAYBREAK]], located in the highlands of Saviron.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/detail/de403866ac5d478b932b9c5b2fabc68f/daybreak-screenshot-gallery ''Halo Waypoint'', Daybreak Screenshot Gallery]</ref> In early 2558, [[Operation: WHITE VAN]] was conducted on Oban regarding the oversight and security of [[Misriah Armory]]'s [[Project SENIOR ICE|Project: SENIOR ICE]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H5GLtd|Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition|[[Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition dossiers#Holly Tanaka|Dossier files]] - Holly Tanaka}} At some point before March 2558, [[Daniel Clayton]] of the [[New Colonial Alliance]] acquired several [[AC-220 Vulture]]s and [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]]s from a sale on Oban.<ref>''[[Halo: Point of Light]]'', Chapter 5</ref> | |||
====Conflict on Oban==== | |||
[[File:H5G - ObanReadout.png|thumb|200px|The destruction caused by the Guardian.]] | |||
{{Main|Battle of Oban}} | |||
On [[2558#July|July 16, 2558]], Oban was attacked by [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] and his [[Promethean]] allies. The attack was advocated by [[Catherine Halsey|Doctor Catherine Halsey]], who believed that a bold move would attract {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. As Halsey predicted, ''Infinity'' was deployed to the moon and [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Sarah Palmer]] led a joint [[Spartan Operations|Spartan]]-[[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] operation in response to the attack. The UNSC eventually repelled the attack, and only minor damage was inflicted upon a new power station halting the colonization of the moon. However, Jul's Covenant attacked Oban just to lead ''Infinity'' into a trap.{{Ref/Comic|Id=HE13|HEsc|Issue=13}} | |||
====Created uprising==== | |||
{{Main|Created uprising}} | |||
On [[2558#October|October 17, 2558]],<ref>''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', PART 01: INTRODUCTIONS, p. 11</ref> a [[Forerunner]] [[Guardian]] on Oban was activated and sent to [[Genesis]] by the [[Created]], inadvertently taking a UNSC Marine patrol along with it.{{Ref/Level|H5G|[[Reunion]]|Detail=[[Mission Intel#Reunion|UNSC Marine Status Update]]}} Oban, along with [[Conrad's Point]], [[Ursa IV]], [[Queen Anne VI]], and [[Adelaide]], was one of the first five colonies in a 72 hour period that [[Cortana Event|saw such an event]]. The Guardian's activation caused widespread destruction and numerous casualties on the moon.{{Ref/Level|Id=Osiris|H5G|[[Osiris (level)|Osiris]]}} | |||
