'''Neos Atlantis''' is a planet in the [[Alcides system]] and a [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] of the [[Unified Earth Government]],<ref name="ant208"/> located in an ambiguous zone between the [[Inner Colonies|Inner]] and [[Outer Colonies]]. The planet is a high-security world surrounded by orbital maintenance docks that only service [[United Nations Space Command]] military vessels. These installations employ close to 100,000 [[civilian]] technicians. Although Neos Atlantis features surface habitats,<ref name=ant211">'''Halo: Fractures''', "A Necessary Truth", ''page 211'' (Google Play edition)</ref> these are sealed from the exterior due to the planet's toxic atmosphere.<ref name="twitter"/> The UNSC maintains recreational facilities on the planet which are reserved for the sole use of [[UNSC Naval Command|fleet]] personnel due to security concerns.<ref name=ant211"/> One of the most notable landmarks on the planet's surface is the [[Theran Crown]], a gloomy, spire-studded cryovolcano ringed by green ice cliffs.<ref name="ant208"/> | |||
On [[2553#October|October 14, 2553]], an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] [[Ferret]] team consisting of [[Veta Lopis]], [[Mark-G313]], [[Olivia-G291]], and [[Ash-G099]] were conducting a training exercise in [[UNSC Recreational Facility 6055-NA-A]] situated in the [[Liberty District]], which turned into a fight for their lives after they came under fire from multiple hostiles ostensibly under the direction of [[Dark Moon Enterprises]].<ref name="ant208"/> | |||
== | ==Trivia== | ||
*"Neos Atlantis" means "Young Atlantis" in [[Human languages#Greek|Greek]]. The planet is likely named after [[wikipedia:Atlantis|Atlantis]], a fictional island from [[Greek mythology|Greek legend]]. | |||
*The green-colored ice surrounding the Theran Crown could indicate the presence of some form of algae-like organisms, and thus life, on the planet. The discoloration could also be due to other impurities, such as sediments or air bubbles. | |||
