Transcendence

Transcendance, often referred to New France, was the twelfth planet colonized by humans. It was colonized in 2437 by the Phoenix-class Colony Ship UNSC Coeur. It was the first predominantly French colony from the start and remains the largest in the category, the next largest barely reaching a population of one million by 2590. The colony is also a major agricultural colony as well as maintaining a small mining industry. Transcendance is also known for its role in the economical and commercial world of the human sphere and was fourth in colonial GDP in 2590, behind only Earth, Mars, and the restored Harvest.
