Alluvion was once a human colony.
History[]
Alluvion was founded in 2412. Very little terraforming had to take place. It became a prominent borderworld between the Inner colonies and the Outer Colonies.[1]
Human-Covenant war[]
- Main article: Battle of Alluvion
In 2542,[3] the Fleet of Particular Justice, led by Thel 'Vadamee, found Alluvion and attacked it.[2] The UNSC Army garrison on the colony was destroyed, and the Covenant proceeded to glass it.[2][3]
Post-war[]
In 2554, a recolonisation team arrived. They discovered a series of Forerunner shield pylons pushing back a section of the Sundark Sea. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that this site contained a new fuel material more powerful than deuterium.[1]
A research site was constructed at this spot in 2556, and in 2557, the pylons retracted. This event effectively ended research into this new material.[1]
Physical Aspects[]
Topography[]
Alluvion held vast oceans and had a tropical climate. The planet's moon, Fallow, has a strong tidal pull on the oceans.[1]
Geography[]
Since Fallow has such a strong tidal pull on the planet's oceans, most human settlements are in the continental interiors.[1]
Locations[]
- Sundark Sea
Trivia[]
- Gabriel Thorne's parents—both of whom were UNSC Army officers—were killed during the Battle of Alluvion in 2542.[3]
- Alluvion is a legal term describing how a piece of land increases, and thus its value, in size based on alluvium
