Troy is a UNSC colony world located in the Hellespont System.[1]
Human-Covenant War
The UNSC ship Apocalypso intercepted a Covenant transmission and was able to warn Troy of an incoming attack.[2] Not wanting the Covenant to know they had broken their code, they did not defend the planet and managed to quietly evacuate some of the population before the planet was glassed due the orbital bombardment by the Covenant, [3] in May of 2537.[4]
Trivia
- The colony's name, Troy, probably comes from the real city of Troy.
- The event may be based on a real historical event. During World War II, Britain didn't defend a city from German Luftwaffe bombers for the same reason, to prevent Germany from realising they broke their code.
