Verge was known to have needed extensive [[terraforming]] in the past, including artificial elevation of the crust by means of [[asteroid]] bombardment, 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> | |||

At one point during the [[Human-Covenant War]], Verge was conquered by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]. The city of Ciudad 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> | |||
