Camber | Camber has vast blue oceans and large, sprawling continents. One of the largest continents features a massive desert or plains biome, with greener environments closer to the eastern coast. Camber presumably has breathable air and comfortable gravity for [[human]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Term2}} | ||

Meanwhile, in the intro cutscene for [[Season 02: Lone Wolves]] of ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', [[Laurette Agryna]] established that a UNSC fleet depot on Camber was destroyed by the Covenant in 2542. While this might simply be an error, the most likely lore-friendly explanation is that the Covenant attacked in both years, with the second attack being 'Vadamee's quick and decisive victory.}} | ||
In [[2546]],{{Ref/Reuse|S2Intro}} the Covenant would return in the form of [[Thel 'Vadamee]]'s [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], with the goal of cleansing the planet of its human inhabitants. 'Vadamee and his fleet caught UNSC forces completely unprepared, penetrating the defensive fleet's early warning perimeter without alerting UNSC forces. After diverting seventeen of his ships to target key ground targets, 'Vadamee himself participated in the attack on the UNSC's headquarters. The battle was over shortly and Camber was [[glassing|glassed]], with only 81,313 of the orignal 5.6 million population surviving.{{Ref/Reuse|Term2}} | |||
