==History== | |||
===Human-Covenant war=== | |||
In [[2526#March|March 2526]], during the early stages of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[11th Marine Force Reconnaissance/ODST]] was stationed on Neos Atlantis, before moving to engage the emerging [[Covenant]] threat in the [[Outer Colonies]].{{Ref/Reuse|hss51}} [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Clovis Petriv]] of the [[Incident Response and Investigation]] branch and [[Captain]] [[Laru]] of {{UNSCShip|Donoma}} had attended a senior leadership course on Neos Atlantis together.<ref>''[[Halo: Retribution]]'', p. 39</ref> | |||
== | ===Post-war=== | ||
On [[2553#October|October 14, 2553]], an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] [[Ferret]] team consisting of [[Veta Lopis]], [[Mark-G313]], [[Olivia-G291]], and [[Ash-G099]] were conducting a training exercise in [[UNSC Recreational Facility 6055-NA-A]] situated in the [[Liberty District]], which turned into a fight for their lives after they came under fire from multiple hostiles ostensibly under the direction of [[Dark Moon Enterprises]].{{Ref/Reuse|ant250}} | |||
==Government and society== | |||
Neos Atlantis is a high-security world surrounded by orbital maintenance docks that only service [[United Nations Space Command]] military vessels. These installations employ close to 100,000 [[civilian]] technicians. The UNSC maintains recreational facilities on the planet which are reserved for the sole use of [[UNSC Naval Command|fleet]] personnel due to security concerns.{{Ref/Reuse|ant254}} The planet's military installations host a Commander's Spa for use by UNSC [[commissioned officer]]s.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=16}} | |||
== | ==Production notes== | ||
"Neos Atlantis" means "Young Atlantis" in [[Human languages#Greek|Greek]]. The green-colored ice surrounding the Theran Crown could indicate the presence of some form of algae-like organisms, and thus life, on the planet. The discoloration could also be due to other impurities, such as sediments or air bubbles. | "Neos Atlantis" means "Young Atlantis" in [[Human languages#Greek|Greek]].
