Governed by the [[Unified Earth Government]], the world contained a biosphere suitable for human life, characterized by vast green oceans and rolling plains of palm grass.{{Ref/Reuse|tfor8}}

Though successful on the ground, superior Covenant naval forces prevailed, and the Spartans were forced to retreat while the Covenant [[glassing|glassed]] the world. |
