Bastion

"'How did we miss a garden world?'""'Preoccupied fighting for the survival of the human species, its beyond the outer colonies after all.'""'You don't believe that ONI missed this rock any more than I do, do you?'""-Two anonymous ODST scouting units from the UNSC Deliverance upon discovering an independent human population on Bastion."

Background
The planet Bastion is neither hidden nor very documented considering its high habitability designated as garden world by the UNSC Deliverance's A.I. Smit upon discovery of the planet after intercepting navigation coordinates. It is unknown if Bastion went unnoticed or if O.N.I. lacked interest in colonizing the planet amidst the onslaught of the Human-Covenant War. Regardless of the mysterious existence of Bastion is the larger mystery of how it achieved such a stable population of Unified Earth Government deserters who now occupy the planet under the banner of the Commonwealth of Bastion.

Geographical Information
Bastion features six land masses comprised of four major continents and two lesser continents or island continents. With biomes varying from lush evergreen forests to desolate deserts and rolling grasslands in between Bastion is extremely Earth-like in its complexity.
