Once a territory of [[Arcadia]], Abaskun was known for its rich farmland. | Once a territory of [[Arcadia]], Abaskun was known for its rich farmland.<ref name="timeline"/> Abaskun was abandoned along with most of the planet on [[2531|February 9, 2531]] during the [[Battle of Arcadia]]. However, a group of Arcadians that remained behind on the planet returned to Abaskun and established it as a small, rural farming community. Over several years, many former Arcadian colonists slowly returned to the planet and resettled in Abaskun. The settlers rebuilt and became a symbol of humanity's resilience.<ref name="journal">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]''</ref> Largely lawless with some form of colonial government,<ref name="waypoint jordan"/> Abaskun continued to provide food supplies for [[human colonies]] under the control of the [[Unified Earth Government]].<ref name="timeline"/> | ||
On [[2549|September 9, 2549]], eighteen years after their initial invasion, the [[Covenant]] returned to Arcadia. The Covenant was taken back by Abaskun's anachronistic state, as the remaining residents of Arcadia lived in lawlessness while flora had overgrown their cities, including [[Pirth City]].<ref name="waypoint"/> With no true military force, Abaskun was easily overwhelmed by Covenant forces.<ref name="timeline"/> As the Covenant began [[glassing]] the planet, hundreds of civilian transports attempted to flee the planet, but they were destroyed by [[plasma]] beams in orbit. [[Catherine Halsey|Doctor Catherine Halsey]] watched the destruction of Arcadia from cameras mounted on a meteorological satellite, greatly distraught at the deaths of Abaskun's former residents.<ref name="journal"/> | |||
