'''Verge''' was a UNSC colony conquered by the Covenant. The colony had at least one major human settlement, [[Cuidad de Arias]], which was one of the hardest hit when the Covenant attacked the planet. The Covenant would set up a [[Beacon]] there to extract helium-3 from the planets mantle for convertion into pure energy, which was transmitted to orbiting Covenant satellites and then transmitted wirelessly to ships blockading Tribute in the [[Epsilon Eridani System]]. The Beacon was destroyed by [[Team Black]], also accidentally liberating a [[Yanme'e]] [[Unmutuals|penal colony]] in the process.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''' - ''Blunt Instruments''

'''Verge''' was a [[human]] colony world. The colony had at least one major human settlement, [[Ciudad de Arias]].
 
==History==
Verge was known to have needed extensive [[terraforming]] in the past, including artificial elevation of the crust by means of [[asteroid]] bombardment, resulting in concentrations of [[Helium|helium-3]] being trapped in the mantle.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Blunt Instruments]]", ''page 194''</ref>
 
On [[2552#July|July 19, 2552]], [[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]] made note of [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] informants stationed on Verge, who were pointing towards an ultra-radical wing of [[People's Occupation]].<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/news/headline/office-of-naval-intelligencesection-3-data-drop-three/252256 '''Halo.xbox.com:''' OFFICE OF NAVAL INTELLIGENCE//SECTION 3 - DATA DROP THREE]</ref>
 
===Team Black's mission===
{{Main|Raid on Verge}}
Late in the [[Human-Covenant War]], Verge was conquered by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]. The city of Ciudad de Arias was one of the hardest hit when the Covenant attacked the planet. The Covenant would set up a [[Beacon]] there to extract [[Helium|helium-3]] from the planet's mantle for conversion into pure energy, which was transmitted to orbiting Covenant satellites and then transmitted wirelessly to ships blockading [[Tribute]] in the [[Epsilon Eridani system]]. The Beacon was destroyed by [[Team Black]], also accidentally liberating a [[Yanme'e]] [[Unmutuals|penal colony]] in the process.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Blunt Instruments"</ref>
 
==Trivia==
Signs in Verge's subway tunnels indicate [[Spanish]] was commonly spoken in the colony.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Blunt Instruments", ''page 207''</ref>
