===Astronomical features===
===Topography and ecology===
Concord is located in close proximity to what appears to be an emission nebula, which is close enough to the planet to be visible to the naked eye in the northern hemisphere, dominating a large portion of the sky and giving off a distinct orange glow. The largest of its two moons exhibits some form of [[Wikipedia:Megascale engineering|megascale engineering]].{{Ref/Map|H4|Longbow}}
Concord's polar caps dominate the northern and southern hemispheres of the planet, though the equatorial habitable band is relatively mild and pleasant. However, the hinterlands remain hostile and sparsely populated, beyond miners and hardy isolationists.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
===Environmental features===
Concord's polar caps dominate the northern and southern hemispheres of the planet, though the equatorial habitable band is relatively mild and pleasant. However, the hinterlands remain hostile and sparsely populated, beyond miners and hardy isolationists.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} This equatorial band has alpine forests and experiences seasonal changes with winter and summer months.{{Ref/Reuse|Contention}}
 
===Ecology===
Concord's northern polar region is home to at least three types of flora: small shrubs visually identical to sage and juniper, and a species of tree that exhibits a trifurcated growth structure, with three photosynthetic sail-like fins emerging from a central trunk composed of sinewy, corded fibers, similar to Earth [[Wikipedia:Banyan|banyan trees]] but without a branching aerial root structure. Their height can exceed 34 m.{{Ref/Reuse|H4|Longbow}}

Originally categorized as a marginal prospect for colonization, Concord was situated at the prime confluence of multiple [[slipspace]] routes. Furthermore, extensive mineral wealth on Concord's surface was of interest to [[Lethbridge Industrial]] and settlement co-ops based out of the [[Sol system]]'s [[Jovian Moons|Jovian colonies]]. Thus, in [[2490]], Concord was settled by the [[Unified Earth Government]] as an [[Outer Colony]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

===Human-Covenant War===
During the [[Human-Covenant War]], Concord saw a population surge and investment as refugees from evacuated colonies settled on the planet. Within a few decades, outposts were transformed into cities and Lethbridge Industrial rose to become a first-tier megacorporation.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

As the war began to get increasingly dire, the [[UEG]] invested heavily in the infrastructure of the planet. With refugees being settled in the various cities of the planet, a number of the original settlers moved out into the harsher wilderness of the world.{{Ref/Reuse|Contention}}

In [[2558]], Concord's UNSC supply routes were disrupted by a faction of [[Kig-Yar]] [[Piracy|pirates]]. In response, the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] charged [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Kojo Agu]] with neutralizing the pirates while testing a prototype of the [[DEADEYE-class Mjolnir]] armor system.
