Sometime after the start of the [[Human-Covenant War]] and prior to [[2530]], Asmara was discovered and [[Battle of Asmara|attacked]] by the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Game|Id=DP14|Halo: Reach|Detail=Data pad 14}} [[Gage Yevgenny]]'s team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s was involved in the defense of the planet. One ODST to die in the battle was [[Mason]], after a [[Sangheili]] speared him along with ten other ODSTs with an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]] before Gage got off a near point-blank shot with a missile launcher.<ref name="dirt"/> Ultimately, the [[United Nations Space Command]] would be unable to repel the invaders from Asmara and the world was [[glassing|glassed]].{{Ref/Reuse|DP14}}{{Ref/Note|The ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' [[data pads]] list Asmara as among the eight human colonies to have been glassed by [[2530]]. However, as numerous other colonies besides those eight are known to have been glassed prior to 2530, this information is suspect, especially given that the information is from in-universe documentation created by [[the Assembly]], which might not be aware of the other colonies' destruction.}} | |||

The colony is likely named for the city of [[Wikipedia:Asmara|Asmara]], the capital of [[Wikipedia:Eritrea|Eritrea]]. | |||
