Luna in the mid-26th century, approximately 2552.

Luna, often referred to as the Moon, is the only natural satellite of Earth. Humans began settling on Luna in 2080.[1] Due to its still barren face, one can assume it has not been terraformed, probably a result of Luna's low gravity and lack of atmosphere. Instead, the habitats on Luna are sealed from vacuum and interconnected by tubes.[2]

By 2492, the governing body of Luna was known as Luna Confederated States, the State of Mare Nubium being one of the said states. The Luna OCS Academy, also known as the Academy at Mare Nubium, was located here.[3]

  • Luna is the Latin word for Moon, and many Latin-based languages share the word.
  • In many Earth-based maps in the Halo games, the Moon often appears to be larger than in real life.
  • The Moon would be roughly 2,059.6 centimetres (67.57 ft) further from the Earth in 2552 than present day due to tidal acceleration forces.
  • In the Halo: Reach live-action short Spaceport, Luna is a destination listed at the Manassas Spaceport.
