Valhalla

Valhalla is the second planet in the Valhalla system and its namesake, located on the Colonial Frontier outside the Orion Arm. Infamous for its cold weather, Valhalla was first discovered and settled by humans in 2535, when refugees from the colonies of, Ludvika, and Drammen fled their respective homeworlds after a Covenant attack. Feeling abandoned by the UNSC, they left and ended up outside the Orion Arm, where they settled the Valhalla system. It was on Valhalla that the Republic of Valhalla was established, and the planet was quickly made its capital world.
