+'''Skopje''' was a [[Unified Earth Government|UEG]] [[Inner Colonies|inner colony]] and the home to several million people. The planet had highly developed urban areas, roads, and railways sprawled across island continents. It was also home to the headquarters of a shipbuilding corporation. The colony was [[glassing|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2547]] after a [[Battle of Skopje|large battle]] that took place there.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Dirt]]", ''pages 171-172''</ref>
+==History==
+A wealthy CEO built a castle in the colony, which would later prove valuable during the battle. In [[2547]], the [[Covenant]] discovered and attacked the planet. [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s were called in to defend the headquarters of a shipbuilding corporation during the evacuation of their shipyards, under the justification that the machines, tools, and personnel that could be saved would be relocated to [[Reach]] to continue building parts for the war effort. The Covenant deployed numerous ground troops against the ODSTs, including [[Sangheili]] and [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s. The Covenant eventually overran the ODSTs.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Dirt", ''page 172''</ref>
+[[Gage Yevgenny]] and another ODST were rescued from approaching Covenant forces by a [[Spartan-II]]. The soldier led the survivors to safety while engaging the other aliens. The ODSTs were led to a stone castle that was being used as the Marines' command center. The Covenant's low-level energy weapons couldn't vaporize or burn the stone, just melt it slightly, making it stronger.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Dirt", ''page 173''</ref>
+The UNSC was eventually forced to abandon the planet and it was [[glassed]] by the Covenant.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Dirt", ''page 175''</ref>
