Karava (Earth-5875)

Karava is a sangheili-held world and former Covenant colony in a contested space between splinter factions of the Covenant.

History
A former Covenant colony, Karava fell into the hands of sangheili after the end of the First Contact War. In 2558, the flagship of the Banished, the Enduring Conviction, settled on the planet after destroying the outpost of another Covenant splinter factions. The distress call of the outpost were picked by Chieftain Jovus and his pack, who attempted to locate and kill Atriox. Once they reached Karava, Jovus and his pack fought against the Banished, leading to his death in a duel against Atriox.

In March 2558, SPARTAN-IVs Commander Jane Shepard and Kaidan Alenko, alongside journalist Petra Janeček traveled to Kor Delban, in Karava, to meet with the mercenary Zef 'Trahl, an acquaintance of Petra. There, Shepard was challenged by the sangheili Hotar 'Lordan, but he was killed by Janeček with her revolver. Later, in an establishment, the trio met 'Trahl, who gave them vital information about Vata 'Gajat and Daniel Clayton, who they discovered to be the traitor within the UNSC that compromised the peace talks between the Swords of Sanghelios and Lydus' pack on Ealen IV.
