The Brunel system, referred to by the Covenant as the Narumad system,[1] is a planetary system located within the Milky Way galaxy, and is governed by the Unified Earth Government.[2] This system was invaded sometime during the Human-Covenant War, and one of its planets, New Llanelli, was glassed by the Covenant in 2530.[2] It was likely named in honor of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, a British engineer who revolutionized public transportation, modern engineering, and the architect for the Great Western Railway.
