==Trivia==
==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"/>
