As cold as I'd imagine hell being. but the booze isnt too bad -SGT Terry Blackburn

KS7 is a extremely cold planet settled during the Golden Age by the United Earth Government on 2475. Althought it was first thought to be unhospitable due to its extreme cold and vastness, its extensive frozen water deposits and mineral rich cave systems convinced the UEG to setup a small minning operation which would become The Colony. Eventually it would hold the KS7 UNSC Depot which would later be taken by Insurgent forces.

History

Settlement

KS7 was settled on 2475 by the UEG to serve as a mining outpost due to its rich composition of rare minerals and metals. Construction of the Upper level of the current KS7 Colony began which served as the staff living quarters and ore storage/refinement.

Growth

As time went on the population on KS7 grew from around 20 miners and 6 other staff to around 78 people. During this time expansion of the first level had begun to accommodate more living quarters and other areas. The growth in population and the boom in income from extreme exploitation of the planets minerals soon attracted more people into the system, including megacorporations, traders, investors, doctors, security companies, entertainers, etc. Many more minning settlements where created around the KS7 Colony, causing it to become the planetary hub. This resulted in the creation of the sublevel of the KS7 Colony, which was designed for a larger population and urban infrastructure.

Glassing

In the year 2525, the colony on KS7 was discovered by the covenant. Despite the best efforts of the UNSC strike force sent into the system to meet the oncoming threat, the colony of KS7 was glassed fully. Only this portion of the planet was glassed however, and by 2540 the UNSC would have atleast 1 other known colony present on the planet, New Pompeii, a testemant to Human defiance of the oncoming genocidal threat.

The Colony

The KS7 colony consists of two levels, the surface area, and the underground area.

The Surface

The surface level is the oldest part of the KS7 Colony, it is the original outpost built by UEG colonists which used to consist of living quarters, a small cafeteria (Which is still there) and a mineral storage facility. It has been renovated as time has gone on and includes these areas:

• Bar/Recreation
• Cafeteria
  • Kitchen (Right under Cafeteria)
• Archeology/Library
• Abandoned Dorms
• Main LZ for KS7

The Sublevel

The newest addition to the colony, built with urban expansion and a larger population in mind, this part of the colony looks more like a small city than a storage facility. It houses most of the habitational, medical, federal, minning, storage, food, and welfare areas of the colony.

• Park/Garden
• Kitchen
• Marshall Office
• RND
• CARGO
• Living Quarters
• Nightclub
• Medbay
• Minning Facility.

Misc

• Planet is only avaible during the First Contact Gamemode
• Every new round the planet will get placed randomly on the Grid, like all other Planets
