Venezia

Venezia is a colony that went silent during the Human-Covenant war. This planet was formerly governed by the Unified Earth Government, and is under the control of an Insurrectionist government as of the end of the Human-Covenant war.

History
Before 2543, the colony was cut-off from contact and declared itself as an independent planet, during which this colony was a known haven for terrorists and outlaws. The CAA office on this colony was blown up at some point possibly due to the growing amount of outlaws and Insurrectionists residing there that don't want to be found. During the period after the colony cut off contact, it had been accumulating weapons and equipment for attacking Earth.

By 2553, an unknown number of Kig-Yar, Unggoy and Jiralhanae had settled on the planet. Each former Covenant species had their own compound. While it is unknown how the Brutes and Grunts integrated, the Jackals did with ease, trading with the humans and living side by side with no hostility.

In January, 2553,, a patrol ship, had to drop out of Slipspace due to a technical problem and requested, and was denied, assistance from Venezia, leading to the destruction of Ariadne. During the search for survivors in the debris of Ariadne, a Type-38 Anti-Aircraft Cannon on the surface of Venezia engaged the destroyer. Monte Casino evaded the shot and destroyed the defensive weapon with an Archer Missile.

Two months after the destruction of Ariadne, the ODSTs Malcolm Geffen and Vasily Beloi landed on Venezia to meet Mike Spenser, an ONI informant on the colony. After arriving at Spenser's house in the city of New Tyne, the two ODSTs discovered that the leading Insurrectionist on Venezia was Staffan Sentzke; father of fellow Kilo-Five member Naomi-010.

After dealing with a situation on Sangheilios, Kilo-Five would be inserted onto the planet.
