Rossbach's World is an uncharted habitable planet cut off from all UNSC and UEG networks.[1]
Overview[edit]
Environmental features[edit]
The planet experiences a mild winter season. A river near Black-Box's cabin flowed potable drinking water from the melted ice of the mountain's snowy peak.[1]
Ecology[edit]
Rossbach's World is home to a species of bio-luminescent fungi that cover tree branches and light up the forests at night.[1] The planet also had some native form of bird as well as orange lichen covering its trees.[2]
History[edit]
Postwar[edit]
Discovered in 2556 by an automated probe, the planet's finding was intercepted by the AI Black-Box, who kept it hidden away as an emergency safe haven. Using a fabricated "shell personality" named Commander Spartan Rossbach, Black-Box managed to erect a single structure on the planet, an antiquated wooden cabin positioned high on the side of a forested mountain. The retreat had limited technology but possessed solar panels to generate energy. The cabin was also well stocked with enough food supplies to last a few years, including a three year stock of alcoholic beverages. According to Black-Box, official accounting ledgers show the cabin was technically constructed on Mars.[1]
In late October of 2558, when the Created unleashed a Forerunner Guardian over the city of Sydney on Earth, Black-Box evacuated Admirals Serin Osman and Terrence Hood as well as Spartan Orzel to Rossbach's World aboard a Prowler.[1] The trio would live on the planet for a year, with Terrence Hood building a lean-to with a makeshift boxing bag near a lake.[2]
In November 2559, a Guardian Custode would arrive at the planet along with SPARTAN-II Gray Team.[2]
