History[edit]
Rise of humanity[edit]
New Harmony was colonized in 2440.[1]
Human-Covenant War[edit]
- Main article: Human-Covenant War
Sometime in the first half of 2537, prior to July 27, a battle took place on this planet between Covenant and UNSC forces. The UNSC successfully defended the planet and won a rare naval victory.[2] During the battle, a prowler, the UNSC Razor's Edge, managed to attach a telemetry probe to a retreating Covenant frigate, allowing it to track the ship and locate K7-49.[3]
However, this victory would be short-lived as New Harmony was attacked once more and glassed by the Covenant in 2538.[4]
Government and society[edit]
Culture[edit]
Catherine-B320 and Jun-A266's accents suggest a large Slavic population.[5]
Production notes[edit]
- In the Epilogue of Halo 4, Thomas Lasky mentions that he grew up "on" New Harmony. While the preposition suggests he is referring to the colony world, it is more likely that he is meant to be referencing the city of the same name on Mars, which is established to be his homeworld in Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn; furthermore, it is mentioned in the fourth issue of Halo: Escalation that Lasky grew up with Petra Janecek on Mars, suggesting the use of the preposition "on" was a mistake or that the details of Lasky's background were changed later on in production.
- The colony may have been named after one of the several towns and communities of the same name in the United States, or the in-universe city of New Harmony on Mars.
List of appearances[edit]
