===Topography and ecology===
Much of the Covenant War era population was housed in a ribbon of relatively newly built arcologies and floating cities.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} After the war, Cascade was still described as a "big, brash, confident world"{{Ref/Reuse|MorDi}}, with settled regions boasting large urban areas and towering high-rises, including many new constructions.{{Ref/Reuse|skyline}} Some suburbs were still clean and orderly following the war, with landscaped streets, lawns, and planted trees. {{Ref/Book|Id= MorDi|Halo: Mortal Dictata|15}}

===Rise of humanity===
After the Human-Covenant War, several major corporations in [[Mindoro]], the [[city|capital city]] of Cascade, backed the construction of a new [[space elevator]] in the city. The elevator's terminus, [[Nova Austin Station]], was slated to become the most important commercial [[Spaceport|spaceport]] on the planet when completed. This construction site was reproduced as a [[War Games]] simulation for the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s SPARTAN-IV complement.{{Ref/Map|Id=skyline|H4|[[Skyline]]}}<ref>[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/02/20/The-Halo-Bulletin-22013.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin 2.20.13''] (Defunct)</ref>
Cascade was founded in [[2435]]. The first wave colonists settled and remained in several core metroplexes.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}


===Human-Covenant War===
In the post-Covenant War years, conflict also arose on Cascade, which led to the deployment of [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IVs]] to the planet. [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR GEN2's]] outer-plate gauntlets were developed for the Spartans fighting on Cascade.{{Ref/Game|H4|Detail=Outer-plated gauntlet description}} The [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Protector]] GEN2 variant was used in raids on Mindoro and [[Volamon]] on Cascade.{{Ref/Book|Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide|Page=160}} Additionally, the [[ODST armor#MJOLNIR GEN2 variant|MJOLNIR (GEN2) ODST armor]] was also produced on the planet.<ref name="bulletin7.10.13">[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/07/10/The-Halo-Bulletin-71013.aspx '''The Halo Bulletin''': ''7.10.13''] (Defunct)</ref>
{{Main|Human-Covenant War}}
The UEG spent a considerable amount of resources on the planet to replace losses elsewhere in human space. As well, skilled technical and engineering personnel from other Outer Colonies ended up on the world. To defend all of this, a naval depot was established on the world in [[2530]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}


===Post-war===
Cascade is known to be home to some agricultural activity. "Technoartisinal" greenleaf [[lettuce]] grown on Cascade is used by the restaurant [[Have S'Moa]] on [[Gannick 22]] in their "Ground Pounder" burger meal.{{Ref/Game|Halo 5: Guardians|Detail=Forge billboards}}
