Madrigal was a thriving human Outer Colony world in the 23 Librae system,[3] and is the only planet within the star's habitable zone.[4] It was the closest world to Harvest in 2525,[5] and in 2528 Madrigal joined Harvest on the list of human colonies to have been glassed by the Covenant.[6]

History[edit]

Human-Covenant war[edit]

The Covenant arrived in the 23 Librae system in 2528. While the United Nations Space Command battled the Covenant, it was the planet's insurrectionists and rebels that had gathered the planet's civilians and helped them escape the Fall of Madrigal.[7] Many civilians of Madrigal evacuated the planet aboard freighters and cargo ships.[8] The Sangheili Thel 'Vadamee, a future Arbiter, participated in the destruction of Madrigal.[9] Despite being prepared for the Covenant since Harvest was glassed in 2525, Madrigal's defenses failed and the planet was glassed.[6][10][Note 1] The survivors fled to the asteroids trailing the nearby gas giant Hesiod, which they nicknamed the Rubble.[11]

In 2535, Covenant ships, the Retribution's Thunder and A Psalm Every Day, entered the system in search for Kig-Yar "rebels" hiding in the Rubble. The Covenant searched Madrigal's surface to make sure the Kig-Yar were not hiding on the planet.[4] With help from the crew of the frigate UNSC Midsummer Night and SPARTAN Gray Team, the Rubble was evacuated after the battles of the Rubble and Metisette, using Habitat Exodus to reach UNSC-controlled space.[citation needed]

List of appearances[edit]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ The Halo: Reach data pads list Madrigal as among the eight human colonies to have been glassed by 2530. However, as numerous other colonies besides those eight are known to have been glassed prior to 2530, this information is suspect, especially given that the information is from in-universe documentation created by the Assembly, which might not be aware of the other colonies' destruction.
