Venezia, referred to by the Sangheili as Sqala,[1] is a human colony formerly governed by the Unified Earth Government, now under the control of a centralized Insurrectionist leadership. It was located in the Qab system. New Tyne was essentially the only settlement on the planet.[2]

History

Sometime prior to 2543, the planet cut off communications with the UNSC and declared independence. At the time, it was a known haven for terrorists and outlaws.[3] At some point during the Insurrection, they destroyed the local CAA bureau.[4] The citizens of Venezia were defended by a local militia headed by Peter Moritz.[5]

During the Human-Covenant War, Venezia became a sanctuary for war deserters from both the UNSC and Covenant sides. Venezia's human population co-inhabited the city of New Tyne with numerous Kig-Yar, Unggoy and Jiralhanae, living together in peace without hostilities.

In January 2553, the UNSC Ariadne experienced reactor malfunctions and was forced to exit slipspace over the planet. As Venezia refused to allow the ship's crew to evacuate planetside, and the UNSC Monte Cassino arrived late at the scene, the Adriadne's reactor exploded and the ship was lost with all hands. As the Monte Cassino was conducting search-and-rescue operations, Venezian ground forces fired upon the ship with a Covenant T-38 "Tyrant" cannon, despite the Monte Cassino informing Venezia traffic control of its intended movement.[6] The ship evaded fire and easily destroyed the cannon with missiles.

On March 2553, ODSTs Malcolm Geffen and Vasily Beloi, along with undercover ONI operative Mike Spenser, infiltrated New Tyne disguised as civilians. Once there, they discovered that one of Venezia's high-ranking Insurrectionist leaders was Staffan Sentzke, Naomi-010's father. After participating in an operation on Sanghelios, Kilo-Five returned to the colony to find Sentzke. They discovered Sentzke was with a Skirmisher shipmaster named Sav Fel, the pirate who had taken the CCS-class battlecruiser Pious Inquisitor, the ship the UNSC had been looking for due to it posing a major threat.[7] Kilo-Five prioritized the acquisition of the battlecruiser, believing Sentzke was beginning preparation for an attack on the UEG capital, Earth.[8]
