Template:Planet Skopje was a UEG inner colony and the home to several million people. The colony was glassed by the Covenant during the Human-Covenant War in 2547 after a large battle that took place there.[1]
History
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. Orbital Drop Shock Troopers were called in to defend the headquarters 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. A wealthy CEO built a castle in the colony, which would later prove valuable during the battle.
Trivia
Skopje was most likely named after the capital city of the modern-day Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
