Madrigal was a thriving UNSC Outer Colony world in the 23 Librae system[1], and is the only planet within 23 Librae's habitable zone[2]. It was the closest world to Harvest in 2525[3], and in 2528 Madrigal followed Harvest to become the fourth known colony glassed by the Covenant at the Battle of Madrigal.[4]Second Base and Green Hills were the two colonies lost just after Harvest fell. The survivors fled to the asteroids, nicknamed the Rubble, trailing the gas giant Hesiod[5].
