Minab was an Outer Colony planet of the Unified Earth Government (UEG).[2][3] Large stretches of land were glassed in 2550 by the Covenant and very few of the colonists survived the initial bombardment and the subsequent occupation.[3]
Overview[edit]
Topography[edit]
Its capital city, Kynur, was a metropolis built adjacent to a small mountain range.[3]
The Covenant's glassing caused the entire planet to undergo a nuclear winter, turning Minab's surface into a frozen tundra. Despite its frigid conditions, some of the world's native wildlife survived the harsh environment. Bipedal creatures reminiscent of Gúta were trapped and eaten by the surviving colonists.[3]
Locations[edit]
Known residents[edit]
History[edit]
Human-Covenant war[edit]
Minab was attacked late in the Human-Covenant War, in 2550. A handful of colonists survived the Covenant's orbital bombardment by having taken refuge in underground caves. Over the following year, gangs of Kig-Yar scavengers maintained a presence on the planet, tearing down the remnants of Minab's cities.[3]
Post-war[edit]
More than three years after the Covenant's assault, UNSC search teams arrived and recovered a few surviving colonists from the planet, among them future Spartan Holly Tanaka.[3]
Trivia[edit]
The colony was likely named after one of the many locales of the same name located in Iran.
