Concord is a Human colony that was established before the Human-Covenant war. On the polar regions, the United Nations Space Command established stations here to launch deep space monitoring relays to explore distant star systems.
The frigid climate and unique gravitational conditions of Concord’s northern polar region provide an optimal perch for Longbow station’s channel-based mass drivers. Before the Human-Covenant war, the Unified Earth Government launched deep space monitoring relays from here in an effort to study far-flung star systems.
