New Texas is a UNSC Colony in the Kara System, being the third planet from the sun, Amanda. New Texas or Blessed Heat was colonised after the UNSC had taken it during the early stages of the Doisac War, it had once been home to a small number of Sangheili colonists and had an extensive plasma weaponry factory in the northern hemisphere. New Texas is quite a large planet being one fifth larger than Earth itself and is now home to 255 million civilians.

History
Blessed Heat was first colonised by the Sangheili just before the Great War and to support the Covenant military, the locals constructed a extensive plasma weapon-making factory churning out two million Type-25 Direct Energy Rifles and Pistol per annum. However during the Covenant Civil War, the Sangheili population recieved the Arbiter's call for retreat back to Sanghelios and boarded the Sangheili-controlled Frigate Holy Defiance leaving Blessed Heat to a Jiralhanae splinter faction who prominantly took over the weapons factory to fuel their own military.

The UNSC entered the system during their aggressive expansion and began the Battle of Blessed Heat soundly defeating a woefully unprepared pair of Jiralhanae Frigates before deploying two companies of Marines that quickly destroyed the Remnant contingent on the ground. It was initially to be used as an advanced forward position to strike into more Remnant territory, but the effectiveness of the UNSC Navy had been too great and the front line was already light-years beyond Blessed Heat to be proved useful. The UNSC Navy which had won the battle left the planet to complete its next objective before the colony ship had arrived: renaming Blessed Heat to New Texas after it similarities with the Northern American province and setting up a small city not far from the old Sangheili town.

Afterwards, New Texas became another colony in the UNSC possession: it never once was besieged by any Remnant faction including the Neo-Covenant Empire nor did it have any Forerunner relics to be discovered. It quite simply became a nice peaceful residental colony exporting many goods while importing little, relying on itself to manufacture anything it wanted.

Geography and Climate
New Texas is much like Texas Province in the United Republic of North America, except on a larger scale. The equator of New Texas is mainly mountainous and desert-like but further north/south of the equator, the enviroment becomes much hospitable opening up to hill country and flood plains. Many of the New Texas' cities have been built along the planets Topic of Cancer and Capricorn as this provides both the much more cooler weather of the north/south poles as well as the incredible heat of the equator.
