| ===Topography and ecology===
| |
| Oban's vast continent of Saviron is home to a highlands region of mountains interspersed with high-altitude grassy terrain.{{Ref/Reuse|Bulletin}} By late 2558, at least one large city was located on the moon before much of it was destroyed during the Guardian's activation.{{Ref/Reuse|Osiris}}

| After the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[United Nations Space Command]] discovered Oban and colonized the moon in [[2553]] as an [[Inner Colony]]. Oban was originally intended to serve as an UNSC stronghold with an expansive military presence and dozens of research facilities,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} however Oban instead became home for millions of [[human]] [[refugee]]s who settled in makeshift camps across the coastal regions of [[Saviron]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Site|Id=Bulletin|URL=http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/03/13/The-Halo-Bulletin-31313.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Bulletin 3.13.13}} Some of these refugees came from [[New Mombasa]].{{Ref/Novel|[[Halo: Envoy]]|Chapter=16}} Many of Oban's refugees were used to rich and manicured lifestyles on their lost homeworlds, but have been forced to live a bleak existence at salvage and waste processing sites. Overtime, Oban's colonists have seen considerable improvements.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |

| | On [[2558#July|July 16, 2558]], the planet was [[Battle of Oban|attacked]] by [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] and his [[Promethean]] allies. The attack was advocated by [[Catherine Halsey|Doctor Catherine Halsey]], who believed that a bold move would attract {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. As Halsey predicted, ''Infinity'' was deployed to the planet and [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Sarah Palmer]] led a joint [[Spartan (branch)|Spartan]]-[[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] operation in response to the attack. The UNSC eventually repelled the attack, and only minor damaged was inflicted upon a new power station halting the colonization of the planet.
