Asźod (Earth-5875)

Asźod was a barren region in the continent Eposz, on Reach. It sheltered numerous industrial facilities, including the Asźod shipyards.

History
During the last days of the Fall of Reach, Asźod became the only safe off-planet extraction point in the entire Eposz continent, becoming the site to the Battle of Asźod. During the battle, SPARTAN-IIIs Emile-A239 and David-B312 made a last stand to deliver the synthetic Cortana to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn, which Captain Jacob Keyes had to carefully dock at the Asźod shipyards to complete the mission. While Emile died at the hand of three sangheili Zealots, David chose to stay behind and defend the Autumn from a CCS-class battlecruiser so it could escape the planet, only to be killed later on by overwhelming Covenant forces.
