Falaknuma is a planet in the 18 Scorpii system[1] and a human Inner Colony of the Unified Earth Government.[3]

History[edit]

Human-Covenant War[edit]

Main article: Human-Covenant War

During the Covenant's massacre across the Outer Colonies, Falaknuma had very little UNSC Navy support, housing a base for a section of the Prowler Corps, as well as a handful of frigates led by Commander Arthur Resnick.[1]

In 2535, Lieutenant Jacob Keyes escorted Habitat Exodus from the Rubble to this colony using UNSC Midsummer Night.[1] 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.[4] Following the evacuation of the surviving Rubble population from Exodus, they were placed in refugee camps across Falaknuma, some of which quickly slipped away.[4] Ignatio Delgado later enlisted in the UNSC Navy at a recruiting station in Halkia on Falaknuma.[5]

On March 6, 2543, a minor engagement between a Sinaris-pattern 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.[6]

Trivia[edit]

The colony is likely named for Falaknuma Palace, a palace in Hyderabad, India.
