Geer
One of the most unusual planets the UNSC has colonized it is almost exactly twice the size as Earth. As well it's calendar is about 245 days a year. The temperature on the planet as well is very very similar to Earth. Thought instead of 7 continents this has over 34 techtonic moving plates causing several million geerquakes a year. The planet was found in 2500 and just like Orin had a huge debate on whether it should be a farming planet or military. Later on it was decided it should be civilian and military combined.

Ring
Geer's number one attraction is that it has it's own ring just like Saturn but the ring is mostly destroyed ships and satellites the covenant caused during the failed siege.

Military Stance
Geer is one of the largest military distributors of the UNSC providing many many vehicles and weapons with its resources. That being said over 65% is still not covered in population still having still fields and forests of wildlife to be explored. But this also held the secret NOVA bomb project for many years. Also it held many spartans over the years and also taught SPARTAN 2.5s.

Covenant defeated
Geer was one of the UNSC planets which showed the most resilience from the UNSC defeating a Covenant armada within 3 days. The battle was won when a glassing ship was highjacked by spartans and used against several other ships. The surviving ships retreated back to their space territory as news spread around UNSC colonies of Geer's stand against the covenant. Showing that they too could also fight against the covenant empire.

SPARTAN 2.5 Project
Geer housed SPARTAN 2.5 project for 17 years as the Human-Covenant war waged on. Having 145 spartans the SPARTAN 2.5 project had the most spartans since spartan 2's 75. All regiments of the 145 were given a lettered name with 2 after referring that they were the 2nd spartans to have lettered names. Such as Alpha 2 and Bravo 2. Though the most known as all of you know was Gamma 2 which were those spartans which saved the planet. For their valiant efforts a monument was stood up in the capitol city of the planet. Many civilians loved that the squad Gamma 2 referring that they were G as in Geer.

Way to close
After the human-covenant war ended it seemed that a forerunner structure was just 980,000,000 miles away from the planet and that it was holding flood parasite specimens that could have hijacked a object and infected the planet.

The URF's infection
Over 18 years after the Human-Covenant War rebel scientists gained a sample of flood dna and centrifuged it with several other supposed extinct viruses and diseases to cause a new infection. URF sent the infection in a camoflauged meteor and hit Geer. The infection spread quickly and soon all messages from Geer has ceased it is probably showing that the URF's new infection has worked successfully.
