History
Relatively close to Earth, New Earth is the home of the New Earth Arms Industry. First colonized in the year 2315, it became a major production center of weapons due to the abundance of materials needed to build weapons. This eventually led to the founding of the New Earth Arms Industry. It remained relatively unscathed by the Human-Covenant War, but in the year 2598, it was invaded by the Covenant Remnants. All humans were thought to have been wiped out, but in 2602, a distress call was receieved by a nearby UNSC ship. Two Spartans were sent in, and rescued around a dozen survivors. Around 2605, New Earth was retaken, and by 2608, the terraforming efforts came to fruition, and returned the planet to it's orignal state. New Earth is covered mostly be temperate grasslands, with land near the poles is much colder then land near the equator. Currently, it is a major UNSC base of operations.
