Fumirole (Earth-5875)

Fumirole is a human Inner colony which faced threats during the Secession and the First Contact War.

Secession
A group of Insurrectionists used the enhancing rumbledrugs on both Fumirole and Fehl Prime during the Secession in an attempt to fight ORIONs. The rumbledrugs enhanced their bodily capabilities, such as strength and sustenance. However, they eventually lost physical and mental control, and as such, suffered horrific results, such as insanity or suicide. Despite their inability to kill any ORION during this threat, they murdered a huge number of UNSC Marines.

Joan Lambert was born on Fumirole on November 7th, 2528.

First Contact War
Fumirole became one of the many battle sites of the First Contact War, as the Covenant advanced towards human territory and found multiple Inner Colonies. On April 22nd, 2552, Noble Team was dispatched on the planet to save it from the Covenant attack, with Kat-B320 carrying a HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon meant to destroy a CCS-class battlecruiser. However, she was severely wounded during the battle, and her right arm was destroyed after a plasma grenade detonated close to her. Seeing she would be unable to complete the mission, Thom-A293, one of Kat's teammates, took the nuke by himself and breached the ship, killing many unggoy and sangheili along his way. There, he planted the bomb and attempted to escape, but it exploded before he was able to escape, which destroyed the battlecruiser and himself.

Although Thom died, the colony was saved from the attack, and the Covenant did not return to it, rather continuing its campaign towards Reach later in the same year.
