Ravenna

"My old buddy traveled there after he finished with the service; he says there's nothing better."

Ravenna is a terrestrial planet located in the 55 Germana System of the desolate outer expanse. It naturally boasts a breathable atmosphere and variably hospitable biosphere.

By 2554, it had grown to be an unconditional haven for war refugees. It is worth noting that the planet maintains no diplomatic ties to UNSC-governed colonies; trade via smuggling is in no scarcity, however. Despite such a bold history of illegal activities, Ravenna's inhabitants, namely the more well-intentioned rebel organizations, manage to prevent crime from reaching rampant levels.

History
Ravenna was discovered in 2388 by UNSC astronomers. For reasons that have yet to be undisclosed, it was never targeted for colonization or even further exploration. This streak of inactivity with the planet, then known as 55 Germana γ, ended when a rebel-manned cargo ship that was running low on fuel and resources stumbled upon the planet in 2450.
