'''Verge''' was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] colony world. The colony had at least one major human settlement, [[Cuidad de Arias]]. The planet was known to have needed extensive [[terraforming]] in the past, including artificial elevation of the crust, resulting in concentrations of [[Helium|helium-3]] being trapped in the mantle.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''[[Blunt Instruments]]'', page 194</ref>

{{Main|Battle of Verge}}

During the [[Human-Covenant War]], Verge was conquered by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]. The city of Cuidad de Arias was one of the hardest hit when the Covenant attacked the planet. The Covenant would set up a [[Beacon]] there to extract [[Helium|helium-3]] from the planet's mantle for conversion into pure energy, which was transmitted to orbiting Covenant satellites and then transmitted wirelessly to ships blockading [[Tribute]] in the [[Epsilon Eridani System]]. The Beacon was destroyed by [[Team Black]], also accidentally liberating a [[Yanme'e]] [[Unmutuals|penal colony]] in the process.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''Blunt Instruments''</ref>

Signs in Verge's subway tunnels indicate [[Spanish]] was commonly spoken in the colony.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''Blunt Instruments'', page 207</ref>
