The UEG colony world of Harvest was founded in [[2468]] by colonists aboard the {{UNSCShip|Skidbladnir}}, and was one of the farthest colonies from [[Earth]]. By [[2525]], Harvest had become the major agricultural center of the UEG. However, during the same year, there were reports of an [[Minor Transgression|unidentified vessel]] near the planet, and all contact with Harvest ceased soon afterwards. Only several thousand [[civilian]]s of the planet's population of 300,000 were evacuated; they told their rescuers of a nearly unstoppable alien ship.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'''</ref> | The UEG colony world of Harvest was founded in [[2468]] by colonists aboard the {{UNSCShip|Skidbladnir}}, and was one of the farthest colonies from [[Earth]].
