The planet was a [[Covenant]] world, colonized prior to the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. In late [[2553]], Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction was using the world to gather resources and established a military foothold on the planet. This faction destroyed the original dwelling of the survivors of the ''Promise of Dawn'' at some point prior to this, forcing them to relocate. The [[Shipmaster]] in charge expressed concern that a [[SPARTAN-II program|Demon]] could have been drawn to the planet as a result of the destruction, but was reassured that this was not the case by his subordinate. He insisted that the humans could not find out about the nature of their work on the world. Shortly after this, the Shipmaster gave the order to destroy the human settlement and the kill the occupants, the latter effort failing due to the intervention of Linda-058. | The planet was a [[Covenant]] world, colonized prior to the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]].
