'''Luna''', often referred to as '''the Moon''', is the only [[natural satellite]] of [[Earth]]. Luna is home to a large [[human]] population and the renowned [[Luna OCS Academy]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 34''</ref> Luna houses a number of [[skyhook]] defense complexes suspended in its low orbit.<ref name="H4G">[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/Halo4Guide '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Halo 4 Interactive Guide'']</ref>

==History==
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Humans began settling on Luna around [[2080]].<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 44''</ref> Luna has not been heavily [[Terraforming|terraformed]], a result of its low gravity and lack of atmosphere.<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 294''</ref> Instead, the habitats on Luna are sealed from vacuum and interconnected by tubes.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''', "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole", ''page 431''</ref> By [[2492]], the governing body of Luna was known as [[Luna Confederated States]], the [[Mare Nubium|State of Mare Nubium]] being one of the said states. The [[Academy at Mare Nubium]], known more generally as the Luna OCS Academy, was located here.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions''', "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole", ''page 433''</ref> Despite its proximity to Earth, Luna was home to some degree of [[Insurrectionist]] activity; shortly after [[2530]], the parents of [[Michael Crespo]] died attempting to detonate a bomb attached to a government building on Luna.<ref>[[ONI Candidate Assessment Program V5.02A/Mickey|'''ONI Candidate Assessment Program V5.02A''' ''(Mickey)'']]</ref>

During the [[Battle of Earth]] in late [[2552]], Luna's [[skyhook]] defense complexes came under attack by the [[Covenant]] and were defended by [[ONI Security]] personnel.<ref name="H4G"/> Other Covenant forces attacked Luna's cities to ensure that the UNSC would not be able to launch a sneak attack from their Lunar military bases. Both Luna and [[Mars]] got hit particularly hard compared to other colonies in the [[Sol system]], although they both fared better than Earth.<ref>'''[[Halo: New Blood]]''', ''page 101'' (Google Play edition)</ref> The human population centers on the moon survived the Covenant assault relatively intact.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/humans '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Humans'']</ref> Following the [[Human-Covenant War]], Luna was home to the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] vessel {{UNSCShip|Rubicon}}, which was deployed to investigate an unknown [[Forerunner]] signal from [[Installation 00]] in [[2557#June|June 2557]].<ref>'''[[Eleventh Hour reports]]''', ''Provenance''</ref>
