| ==Overview== | | ==Trivia== |
| ===Topography===
| | *Madrigal was a city in [[Bungie]]'s Myth series, as well in the ''[[Siege of Madrigal]]'', a music piece from [[Myth]]. While the song had been in the ''Halo'' franchise as an Easter Egg for some time, it was only upon publication of ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'' that its namesake became canon. |

|
| ==History==
| | *Most of Madrigal's population seemed to be of Latino or Hispanic descent. This may be connected to the fact that the planet is named after localities in Spain on Earth, such as Madrigal de las Altas Torres and Madrigal del Monte, municipalities in Castile and León and Madrid, Spain. |
| ===Human-Covenant war===
| |
| The Covenant arrived in the [[23 Librae]] system in [[2528]]. While the [[United Nations Space Command]] battled the Covenant, it was the planet's [[insurrectionist]]s and rebels that had gathered the planet's civilians and helped them escape the [[Fall of Madrigal]].{{Ref/Novel|TCP|Page=70}} Many civilians of Madrigal evacuated the planet aboard [[freighter]]s and cargo ships.{{Ref/Novel|TCP|Page=41}} The [[Sangheili]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee, a future [[Arbiter]], participated in the destruction of Madrigal.{{Ref/Novel|TCP|Page=146}} Despite being prepared for the Covenant since Harvest was glassed in [[2525]], Madrigal's defenses failed and the planet was [[Glassing|glassed]].{{Ref/Reuse|CP7}}{{Ref/Comic|HWG}}{{Ref/Note|The ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' [[data pads]] list Madrigal as among the eight human colonies to have been glassed by [[2530]]. However, as numerous other colonies besides those eight are known to have been glassed prior to 2530, this information is suspect, especially given that the information is from in-universe documentation created by [[the Assembly]], which might not be aware of the other colonies' destruction.}} The survivors fled to the asteroids trailing the nearby gas giant [[Hesiod]], which they nicknamed [[the Rubble]].{{Ref/Novel|TCP|Page=11}}
| |
|
| |
|
| In [[2535]], Covenant ships, the ''[[Retribution's Thunder]]'' and ''[[A Psalm Every Day]]'', entered the system in search for [[Kig-Yar]] "rebels" hiding in the Rubble. The Covenant searched Madrigal's surface to make sure the Kig-Yar were not hiding on the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|cp155}} With help from the crew of the [[UNSC light frigate|frigate]] {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}} and [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN]] [[Gray Team]], the Rubble was evacuated after the [[Battle of the Rubble|battles of the Rubble]] and [[Battle of Metisette|Metisette]], using [[Habitat Exodus]] to reach UNSC-controlled space.{{Citation needed}}
| | *[[Ignatio Delgado]] and [[Maria Esquival]] were evacuated from the city of Nueva Lima when they were both 14 years old, immediately before the Madrigal was glassed. Their parents loaded them onto a cargo ship containing many refugee children <ref>[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]], Page 41</ref>. |

| ==Trivia==
| |
| {{Linkbox|gallery=yes}}
| |
| *Madrigal is a [[city]] in [[Bungie]]'s [http://myth.bungie.org/ ''Myth'' series]. It serves as the namesake of ''[[Siege of Madrigal]]'', a musical piece from ''Myth: The Fallen Lords''. This song serves as an Easter egg in all the Bungie ''Halo'' games.
| |
| *The names of most known Madrigali residents, as well as the names of places they established on [[the Rubble]], seem to indicate that much of Madrigal's population was of Hispanic heritage.
