User:K4/Kala Colony

Kala, more commonly referred as Kala Colony, is the 3rd planet in the SJ2 section of the Sahī Juṛavāṁ Binary Mirror System. Colonized in 2417 by the colony ship The Ancient Mariner, Kala Colony became the UEG's #4 exporter of Uranium and plasteel over the course of 75 years. It was invaded and subsequently glassed by the Covenant in 2542. In June of that year, Black Team operators SPARTAN-041 and SPARTAN-141 engaged Covenant forces in a shipyard facility the Covenant had established in high orbit of the glassed colony. Despite destroying the shipyards, SPARTAN-041 was killed. Both Kala Colony and it's twin Kava Colony were great losses to the UNSCDF, due to their exports and strategic location at the then-edge of Covenant-controlled space.
