Elysium

Elysium was a human colony world in the Lamda Capulus System located on the edge between the Outer and Inner Colonies.

Overview
A relatively young planet, only about one-point-two billion years old, Elysium is relatively stable geologically. In terms of climate, size, gravity, and atmosphere; Elysium is extremely similar to Earth. It required only small amounts of terraforming before becoming a habitable by humans. Its terrain is highly varied, composing of deserts, mountains, savannahs, and confir forests. Its surface is about fifty-five percent water, aproximately ninety percent being the salt-water oceans of Tyrorica, Iizscara, and Bythantis.The massive supercontinent is divided by the Daibetsu River into the two states of Agaia and Shinrin. It possesses five moons: Mikazuki, Artemya, Erena, Tukiko, and Mona. The largest moons, Mikazuki and Erena, create an aurora effect in the sky of Elysium similar to the effect on Reach. The highest point of elevation is Guresu Mountain, 9010 m above sea level.

Its most notable trait is the composition of its crust, which is highly abundant in raw titanium. This made it a valuable resource planet for the UNSC, but it also found use when the Forerunners built their armory there as it acted as a natural Faraday Cage to hide the fleet of Cleanser Sentinels.

The planet was first discoved in 2430, and was settled in 2432. Elysium's first settlers hailed from North America and eastern Asia, specifically from the United States of America and Japan. Despite the obvious cultural differences, both groups agreed on equal and peaceful settlement, and within half a century, established the Mega-cities of New Kyoto, New Angeles, and Navestrom; the last of which was jointly founded by both cultures and became the capital of the colony.
