New Carthage was a UEG-controlled Inner Colony.

History

The planet was founded during the Domus Diaspora.

Despite its size and doubtlessly considerable contributions to the war effort, New Carthage survived the Human-Covenant war unscathed.

Post-war

In 2554, a UNSC corvette UNSC Sagan Blue intercepted two Kig-Yar pirate DAS-class storm cutters over New Carthage.

At some point in either 2557 or 2558, one of the energy reactors for the city of Pilvros became highly unstable, forcing the entire city to be evacuated.

Economy

Many large corporations made their headquarters on the planet, aiding Earth's post-war economic recovery. These corporations served as economic powerhouses leading to flourishing growth rates.
