Cocerto was a UNSC colony first colonized in 2413. It is located in the Procyon system, the same system as Arcadia. One of the first skirmishes of the Saulosian campaign was fought here, resulting in a huge loss of life for the UNSC and a Saulosian victory.

History
Concerto was first observed in 2208 by arstonomers on Earth, but the first explorers to set foot on it were members a religious group who called themselves the Wayfarers. They dedicated themselves to exploring the furthest reaches of space, believing that, somewhere out there, they would find God. Their exploration had great benefits for the UNSC because the Wayfarers would freely share all their data with otheres, in the hope that they, too, would join the quest. It avoided Covenant attention in the Human-Covenant war, but could not offer more than token resistance when the Saulosians attacked.
