Asgard is a planet in the Outer Colony region of UNSC controlled space. The planet is renowned for its natural beauty and fierce winters. The planet has a 24 hour day cycle and circles it sun once per 450 day. The planet has four seasons, Spring,Summer,Fall and Winter. The average temperature on the planet is 40° Fahrenheit and increases to 65°F in summer, and can plummet to -43°F in winter. =History= The planet was first discovered in 2454. A explorer drone was sent and discovered a world of vast natural beauty, lakes dotting the landscape and vast forests. However later in the experiment did scientists find vast mines of titanium and other raw materials. In 2499, a human colony ship, loaded with colonists from Scandinavia arrived at the planet and begun to build. However, winter arrived and decimated 1/8th of the population. The survivors quickly built their cities for shelter and in late 2500 did they succeed. Mining companies from Earth began to set up mining colonies to mine for resources, while the lumber industry came as well.

When the Human-Covenant War broke out, Asgard was lucky enough to avoid the wrath of the Covenant. Marines arrived in system and began to set up defenses for the planet. However in 2552, the Covenant found the planet, and begun their siege.
