History

The Alpha Imura system, and Emerald Cove more specifically was settled sometime prior to 2528.[2] By the year 2542 during the Human-Covenant War, the system was deemed vulnerable to attack by the approaching forces of the Covenant; In response, the UNSC promptly evacuated the colony.

Production notes

Main article: Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)/Mistakes

In the Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition), which released a year after Point of Light, the Alpha Imura star system is not listed next to Emerald Cove within the book's depictive guide of human colonized worlds. Instead, the encyclopedia lists Emerald Cove as residing within the Gamma Piscium star system. Gamma Piscium is an actual star located in the constellation of Pisces, approximately 135 light years away from Earth. In contrast, there is no such star named 'Alpha Imura,' nor does there exist an Earth constellation called 'Imura.' Taking the system's fictitious in-universe name into account, it could be reasoned that Alpha Imura is merely a different and futuristic moniker for Gamma Piscium, making them both one and the same.
