"Olympia...first the Innies, now the Covenant. It's always something here, ain't it?"

- Lieutenant Benjamin-B312, 2551

Olympia is a human colony world located in the UNSC Inner Colonies, in the Theta Omicron system. It served as the center of ONI's operations in that system, housing the ONI outpost Tower Base, and several military camps. For many years it was one of the main battlefields on the frontline of the war against the Insurrectionists. In 2543, Olympia fell under total control of the Insurrectionists (via the machinations of Ted Dinsmore, who was, against his will, on permanent loan by the ONI to Olympia after illegally arranging an attack on a Covenant warship, defected to gain power.) The SPARTAN-III contingent Beta Company was sent in and, over the course of nearly a year, successfully liberated the planet from Insurrectionist control.

In 2551, the Covenant attacked the planet, and while UNSC's forces fought hard to defend it, Olympia was eventually glassed. However, it has since been terra-formed and re-colonized.
