'''Minab''' was an [[Outer Colony|Outer]] [[Human colonies|Colony]] [[planet]] of the [[Unified Earth Government|Unified Earth Government (UEG)]].{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/holly-tanaka|SiteName=Halo Waypoint|PageName=Holly Tanaka}}{{Ref/Comic|Id=HE17|[[Halo: Escalation]]|Issue=[[Halo: Escalation Issue 17|#17]]}} Large stretches of land were glassed in [[2550]] by the [[Covenant]] and very few of the colonists survived the initial bombardment and the subsequent occupation.{{Ref/Reuse|HE17}} | |||
==Overview== | |||
===Topography=== | |||
Its capital [[city]], [[Kynur]], was a metropolis built adjacent to a small mountain range.{{Ref/Reuse|HE17}} | |||
The Covenant's glassing caused the entire planet to undergo a nuclear winter, turning Minab's surface into a frozen tundra. Despite its frigid conditions, some of the world's native wildlife survived the harsh environment. Bipedal [[List of animals|creatures]] reminiscent of [[Gúta]] were trapped and eaten by the surviving colonists.{{Ref/Reuse|HE17}} | |||

==History== | |||
===Human-Covenant war=== | |||
Minab was attacked late in the [[Human-Covenant War]], in 2550. A handful of colonists survived the Covenant's orbital bombardment by having taken refuge in underground caves. Over the following year, gangs of [[Kig-Yar]] scavengers maintained a presence on the planet, tearing down the remnants of Minab's cities.{{Ref/Reuse|HE17}} | |||
===Post-war=== | |||
More than three years after the Covenant's assault, UNSC search teams arrived and recovered a few surviving colonists from the planet, among them future Spartan [[Holly Tanaka]].{{Ref/Reuse|HE17}} | |||

The colony was likely named after one of the [[Wikipedia:Minab (disambiguation)|many locales]] of the same name located in [[Wikipedia:Iran|Iran]]. | The colony was likely named after one of the [[Wikipedia:Minab (disambiguation)|many locales]] of the same name located in [[Wikipedia:Iran|Iran]]. | ||
