Mamore is a human colony world in the Eridanus sector.[1][2] It is one of the few UNSC worlds that have not been glassed.[citation needed]
History
In 2511, a terrorist bomber from the Freedom and Liberation Party detonated a commercial nuclear explosive in the Haven arcology, killing 2 million people and injuring 8.3 million others.[2] In 2537, there was an Insurrection on Mamore, which was quickly and effectively put down by SPARTAN-III Alpha Company.
SPARTAN-B312 participated in a counter-insurgency operation on Mamore on May 10, 2552. Evidence indicates that the SPARTAN's talents as a Saber pilot were exhibited. This won Colonel Urban Holland's approval and led to B312's reassignment to Noble Team.[3]
Being sent to the Mamore colony is mentioned as a threat to Dorking in order to get him to believe Rani's story during the raid on Chawla Base when they try to find and turn off the Deep-Space Artifact. Also mentioned during the raid is that there is some type of social group called the Kelorists[4] who are all from Mamore. The group has unique tattoo, a cross in the circle, that they use as a symbol of their association as a Kelorist.

Trivia
- The colony is likely named after Mamora, a coastal town in Morocco. It fell to the Moors in 1515 and became a haven for the dreaded Barbary corsairs.
