The colony was known throughout human space as a world of sublime beauty, with thousands of miles of white sandy beaches, azure oceans, and "beautiful colonists that made any trip there a happy one".

In [[2542]], during the [[Human-Covenant War]], the UNSC abandoned Emerald Cove due to the threat of nearby Covenant forces. However, Emerald Cove's fate remained unknown as of [[2552]], with some questioning if the world was glassed or occupied by the Covenant, or simply left untouched by the alien empire.<ref name="memory"/><ref name="enc308"/>

==Production notes==
{{Main|Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)/Mistakes}}
Emerald Cove is incorrectly listed as being in the Gamma Piscium system in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} [[Wikipedia:Gamma Piscium|Gamma Piscium]] is an actual star located in the constellation of Pisces, approximately 135 light years away from Earth. In contrast, there is no such star named 'Alpha Imura,' nor does there exist an Earth constellation called 'Imura.' Taking the system's fictitious in-universe name into account, it could be reasoned that Alpha Imura is merely a different and futuristic moniker that could still very well refer to the Gamma Piscium system.
