| In [[2535]], [[Lieutenant]] [[Jacob Keyes]] escorted [[Habitat Exodus]] from [[the Rubble]] to this colony using {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}}.{{Ref/Reuse|Cole343}} The Exodus [[asteroid]] then disintegrated and its debris created a navigational hazard around the planet, which according to experts would take years to deorbit and burn up.{{Ref/Novel|Id=tcp352|Halo: The Cole Protocol|Page=352}} Following the evacuation of the surviving Rubble population from Exodus, they were placed in [[Asylum seeker|refugee]] camps across Falaknuma, some of which quickly slipped away.{{Ref/Reuse|tcp352}} [[Ignatio Delgado]] later enlisted in the UNSC Navy at a recruiting station in [[Halkia]] on Falaknuma.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: The Cole Protocol|Page=355}}
