Reynes was a former mining colony and later a United Nations Space Command listening outpost[2] in the Kezu system.[1]
Overview
Topography and ecology
Reynes had saltwater seas. Colossal sea creatures were also found the planet. The ones that were beached, left rotting corpses.[3]
Known residents
History
Rise of humanity
Reynes was settled in 2469.[1] At some point during the Insurrection miners on the planet striked and protested against the Unified Earth Government.[3]
Human-Covenant War
At some point prior to the victory at the Harvest campaign, the planet was glassed by the Covenant. Many of the miners became refugees elsewhere.[3]
Postwar
In January 2553, it was used as a temporary listening station, operated by Mike Spenser, until he was exfiltrated. He stayed underground in the mines of the colony, which had remained largely intact after the glassing. A group of Kig-Yar would occasionally scavenge the colony for tantalum, and at least one of them was capable of communicating with Spenser. These Kig-Yar served as informants for Spenser. A lone Unggoy would also arrive to clean Spenser's base in the mines.
While Malcolm Geffen and Vasily Beloi were evacuating Spenser, a group of Kig-Yar pirates moved in on their Pelican, wanting to take it for themselves. After several disagreements, the situation escalated into a firefight in which all Kig-Yar were killed, and Mal received a dent in his helmet from a Gadulo-pattern needle rifle round.[4]
In April 2553, another group of Kig-Yar, including Chol Von's mate, Vek, travelled to Reynes to look for tantalum deposits.[5]
Society
Economy
Before and during the Human-Covenant War, Reynes was used by the UNSC to mine aluminum, tantalum and copper.[6] Before the Covenant glassed the colony, there were about 50,000 miners working on the planet.
Trivia
Reynes is a town in southern France.
