Sundown

Sundown is a UNSC colony world, used mainly as a holiday resort. The planet was tilted in such a way that made it appear perpetually like sunset, during the day, and created a consistent aurora during the night. Sundown itself was dominated mainly by ocean, with a few mountainous peaks breaking the waterline. These peninsulas were connected by cable cars, to allow easier travel. Most of the structures were small private villas constructed on wooden pillars, above stretches of shallow ocean.

In 2553, Edward Buck and Veronica Dare spent a week there to rekindle their relationship. However, this holiday was interrupted when Jun-A266 arrived, to offer Buck a place in the SPARTAN-IV Program. Buck refused the offer, and he and Dare continued their holiday, for its remaining day.
