'''Kamchatka''' | '''Kamchatka''', also known as '''Caspar V''',<ref name="Halo Channel">''[[Halo Channel]]'': Encyclopedia</ref> is the fifth planet in the [[Caspar system]]. A remote planet, Kamchatka was created by the [[Forerunner]]s and served as a node of the [[Domain]] for the [[ecumene]]. Following [[Great Purification|the firing]] of the [[Halo Array]], Kamchatka remained an obscure world at the fringes of civilization until the planet's discovery in [[2558]].{{Ref/Reuse|HW}} | ||
== | ==History== | ||
Kamchatka was a product of [[Forerunner]] [[astroengineering]], created to serve as a link to the [[Domain]]—the Forerunner knowledge network. Though the planet has an unusual lack of various structures and facilities located on its surface, Kamchatka has many structures buried under its snow and ice, including a communications hub.{{Ref/Reuse|HW}} The [[Stormbreak]] mountain range, considered to be "the broken spine" of Kamchatka, was mended by the Forerunners.<ref name="canonfodder">Halo Waypoint: [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-know-for-an-answer ''Canon Fodder - Know for an Answer'']</ref> | |||
Kamchatka | |||
In [[2558]], a communications hub on the planet activated, attracting the attention of both the [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]].{{Ref/Reuse|HW}} The Covenant established an outpost on Kamchatka, concentrating a bulk of their forces on the planet<ref name="osfm6">''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', Part 06: Battlefronts</ref> while they attempted to access the planet's data network. While Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]] and [[Jul 'Mdama]] worked to access the network at a large Forerunner structure, Halsey discovered information relating to the recent attacks by [[Guardian]]s on [[human colonies]].<ref name="guardians">''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', campaign level, "[[Osiris (level)|Osiris]]"</ref> Additionally, the Covenant managed to locate a Guardian on Kamchatka.<ref name="loo20">''[[Halo: Legacy of Onyx]]'', Chapter 20</ref> Halsey contacted and warned the UNSC, and in response [[Expeditionary Strike Group 1]] was deployed to Kamchatka as part of [[Operation: ANCHORITE]] to assault the Covenant staging area.<ref name="osfm1">''Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual'', Part 01: Introductions</ref> During the battle, [[Fireteam Osiris]] was tasked with assassinating 'Mdama and retrieving Halsey. Osiris was deployed to the surface of the planet, as Jul 'Mdama's Covenant forces [[Battle of Kamchatka|battled]] the rebelling [[Promethean]]s. As Osiris fought their way to the structure, they assassinated 'Mdama and brought Halsey back to {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, which soon left the system.{{Ref/Reuse|guardians}} | |||
Some time after the battle, the UNSC intended to establish a military complex and power station on Kamchatka to control the planet's Forerunner sites.{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder}} While the UNSC is aware of the Forerunner structures under Kamchatka's surface, no detailed surveys have been conducted to observe them as of 2558.{{Ref/Reuse|HW}} As she formed the [[Created]], [[Cortana]] activated the Guardian on Kamchatka.{{Ref/Reuse|loo20}} | |||
==Topography== | |||
Kamchatka is ostensibly an unremarkable and barely habitable arctic world, underdeveloped and home to a frigid climate,{{Ref/Reuse|osfm6}} with temperatures ranging between -87 °C to -12 °C (-125 °F to 10 °F).{{Ref/Reuse|HW}} The terrestrial planet's surface is rugged, with a majority of the surface covered by ice and snow. However, closer analysis has revealed evidence of extensive [[Astroengineering|mega-engineering]] of the planet by the [[Forerunner]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|osfm6}} While much of the larger Forerunner structures are buried under the snow and ice, the [[Stormbreak|Stormbreak mountain range]] is an expansive mountainous region called the "broken spine of Kamchatka”, said to be mended by the Forerunners.{{Ref/Reuse|HW}} | |||
