Neos Atlantis
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Neos Atlantis is a UEG-controlled planet located in an ambiguous zone between Earth's Inner and Outer Colonies. It is a high-security world surrounded by orbital maintenance docks that only service United Nations Space Command vessels. These installations employ close to 100,000 civilian technicians. Despite Neos Atlantis' toxic atmosphere, the UNSC maintains recreational facilities on the its surface which are reserved for the sole use of fleet personnel, due to security concerns. One of the most notable landmarks on the planet's surface is the Theran Crown, a gloomy, spire-studded cryovolcano ringed by green ice cliffs which is easily visible from orbit.[1]
On October 14, 2553, an Office of Naval Intelligence Ferret team consisting of Veta Lopis, Mark-G313, Olivia-G291, and Ash-G099 were conducting a training exercise in UNSC Recreational Facility 6055-NA-A situated on one of the orbital installations, which turned into a fight for their lives after they came under fire from multiple hostiles ostensibly under the direction of Dark Moon Enterprises.[1]
Trivia
- "Neos Atlantis" means "Young Atlantis" in Greek. The planet is likely named after Atlantis, a fictional island from Greek legend.
- The green-colored ice surrounding the Theran Crown could indicate the presence of some form of algae-like organisms, and thus life, on the planet. The discoloration could also be due to other impurities, such as sediments or air bubbles.
