Karnak

Karnak
Overview
Location:	Lombard, Draco III
Governed by:	Unified Earth Government

Karnak is a city located in Lombard on the human colony world of Draco III. The city was known for a large fishing industry, and the Gold Sea is located off the coast of Karnak. Karnak was home to the Leeward's dive bar, a tiny airport, and a UNSC recruiting office. It was where Edward Buck lived most of his life prior to his enlistment in the UNSC.

History

When the Covenant invaded Draco III in 2545, starving Kig-Yar and Unggoy massacred the city's residents. While the Covenant used the world as a hunting ground, Karnak was partially glassed by Covenant vessels. Entire neighborhoods, dozens of kilometers wide, were glassed entirely, while most of the city's high-rise buildings were destroyed. However, the docks were cleaned up by colonists that resettled on the planet following the Human-Covenant War. After the rebellion on Draco III in 2554, Edward Buck returned to Karnak. While drinking at Leeward's bar, he was visited by Jun-A266, who offered him and his team a place in the second class of the SPARTAN-IV program; he accepted.

Trivia

The city is likely named after Karnak, an ancient complex of ruins in Egypt.
