Ruthersburg was a minor human Outer Colony planet, governed by the Unified Earth Government (UEG).[2]
History
Ruthersburg was colonized by the Unified Earth Government as a minor Outer Colony, famed for little and barely charted. The planet's single inhabitable continent served as the home to Ruthersburg's only human settlements with low populations.[2]
Human-Covenant war
During the Human-Covenant War, fleets of the Covenant arrived at Ruthersburg and eradicated the planet's small population.[2] Just as the Covenant began to glass Ruthersburg in 2548,[1] a section of the planet's fragile mantle buckled, tearing the only inhabitable continent apart in a rippling series of pyroclastic explosions.[2]
Ruthersburg is a destination that could be reached from the Manassas Spaceport in Mid-2552.[3]
Post-war
The barren husk that remained would have remained a footnote in history were it not for slipstream space routes discovered after the Covenant War, which placed Ruthersburg in a spur of the new Sol-Epsilon Eridani trade route. Megacorporations quickly sited resource extraction and refining operations on the planet's ruined surface dedicated to feeding metals and rare earths to shipyards building the next generation of UNSC Navy vessels above Mars and Tribute.[2]
Government and society
One of the megacorporations that set up at least one mining site on the planet was the Liang-Dortmund Corporation.[4]
