'''Falaknuma''' is a planet in the [[18 Scorpii system]]<ref name="Cole343"/> and a [[human]] [[Inner Colonies|Inner Colony]] of the [[Unified Earth Government]].<ref>''Halo: Cole Protocol'', p. 335</ref> | |||
== | ==History== | ||
During the [[Covenant]]'s [[Massacre of the Outer Colonies|massacre]] across the [[Outer Colonies]], Falaknuma had very little [[UNSC Navy]] support, housing a base for a section of the [[UNSC Prowler Corps|Prowler Corps]], as well as a handful of [[frigate]]s led by [[Commander]] [[Arthur Resnick]].<ref name="Cole343"/> | |||
In [[2535]], [[Lieutenant]] [[Jacob Keyes]] escorted [[Habitat Exodus]] from [[the Rubble]] to this colony using {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}}.<ref name="Cole343"/> The Exodus [[asteroid]] then disintegrated and its debris created a navigational hazard around the planet, which according to experts would take years to deorbit and burn up.<ref name="tcp352">''Halo: The Cole Protocol'', p. 352</ref> Following the evacuation of the surviving Rubble population from Exodus, they were placed in [[Asylum seeker|refugee]] camps across Falaknuma, some of which quickly slipped away.<ref name="tcp352"/> [[Ignatio Delgado]] later enlisted in the UNSC Navy at a recruiting station in [[Halkia]] on Falaknuma.<ref>''Halo: The Cole Protocol'', p. 355</ref> | |||
On [[2543|March 6, 2543]], a [[Battle of 18 Scorpii|minor engagement]] between a {{Class|CPV|heavy destroyer}} and [[Battle Group Sierra-3]] took place in the 18 Scorpii system, where the UNSC Navy [[battle group]] was aided by [[insurrectionist]] forces.<ref>"[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]" – ''[[Halo: Evolutions]]'', p. 324</ref> | |||
==Behind the scenes== | |||
The colony is likely named for [[Wikipedia:Falaknuma Palace|Falaknuma Palace]], one of the finest palaces in Hyderabad, India. | The colony is likely named for [[Wikipedia:Falaknuma Palace|Falaknuma Palace]], one of the finest palaces in Hyderabad, India. | ||
