Neos Atlantis

Neos Atlantis is one of the UNSC's main industrial and military centers following the Human-Covenant War.

History
Neos Atlantis was already host to a major naval base and military training bases at the start of the conflict. As the war progressed, more manufacturing plants and shipyards were established here, having been moved from high-risk sites such as the colonies of Epsilon Eridani and Sol. By 2553, its shipbuilding capacity still paled in comparison to the now-devastated juggernauts that were Mars and Tribute.

The colony survived the Human-Covenant War unscathed, and by the 2560s it became the largest producer of naval craft outside of the Sol system. Because its local neighborhood had not been hit too badly by the Covenant, Neos Atlantis acted as one of the main staging areas for UNSC interests in the region, as well as for civilian reconstruction efforts.

Description
Exhibiting a green, icy surface, Neos Atlantis is an unusual place to host a human colony due to its toxic atmosphere and low surface temperatures. Many of its planetside habitats were dome-shaped and sealed against the elements, supporting recreation facilities, factories, and research centers. There is only a small civilian presence here due to security concerns, with most personnel being employed by the UNSC.

Instead, most of the civilians live and work in orbital satellites, and it is here where the majority of its immense shipyards and naval bases are located.
