Nomdagro was a Forerunner-colonized planet in the Far Nomdagro system.[3] A world mainly populated by Warrior-Servants, it was home to the Didact and the Librarian's family residence.[4]
Overview[edit]
Astronomical features[edit]
The planet's skies were dominated by a nebular complex home to many newborn stars.[5] Around 98,445 BCE, when the Didact went into his first Cryptum, the nebula was alight for several days with the light of a nearby hundred-year-old supernova.[1]
Environmental features[edit]
Nomdagro had past volcanic activity, resulting in quarries of basalt.[1] One of its continents contained the only Precursor structure on the entire planet, and had a shallow sea bathed in low-lying mists which fostered many forms of plant and microbial life.[3]
Ecology[edit]
The edges of the shallow sea on Nomdagro hosted species of wort, moss, and stalk-rooted, pillow-frond forests.[3]
The planet's only indigenous fauna was a silicon worm with "immensely strong cuticles and cartilaginous members" that went extinct long before the world was settled by Forerunners, leaving behind fossil remains in igneous rock with enough residual thorium and uranium to glow softly at night. The Librarian theorized that they had died in "great, contorted coils" as the lava washed over them.[1] In the latter years of the Forerunner-Flood war, other primitive life-forms were introduced on a continent set aside specifically for their habitation as part of the Conservation Measure.[3]
The shallow sea area was also home to slime-molds and bacterial mats and nodules which competed with the stalk-rooted, pillow-frond plants.[3]
History[edit]
Nomdagro had one Precursor structure left on the planet at least half a billion years ago by the Precursors.
Nomdagro was originally home to a million Warrior-Servants. However, with the diminishing of their rate, many left the planet upon joining the Builder rate and becoming part of Builder Security. The Didact and the Librarian had an estate on this planet; this was the last place she saw him before he went into his first exile in a Cryptum circa 98,445 BCE.[2]
Around 97,445 BCE, the Forerunners on the planet quickly abandoned it when they learned of a possible approaching Flood infestation. In an attempt to make Nomdagro look abandoned and spare it from the Flood, they planned to super-cool and power down the planet. Before this, the Ur-Didact, the IsoDidact and the Librarian held a reunion on the planet, before being forced to flee due to an approaching Flood fleet, accompanied by Precursor star roads. The Flood quickly overran Nomdagro by deploying millions of dispersal pods in its atmosphere, many landing in the oceans and on the ground with others breaking up in midair. As the Flood spores overwhelmed the atmosphere, spore mountains sprang up within moments, beginning the conversion of the planet into a Flood hive.[4]
