Subject: Any Good Halo Novel Ideas?

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

I want to write a Fan-fiction Halo Novel about a group of SPARTAN-III's. But I lack any good ideas; came you guys give me some ideas for the Novel?

Okay, but you better put my name in the credits.....

How about it takes place on Greenhills, that was one of the first planets glassed by the covenant. Your elite team of spartan 3's must get civilians out, slow down the covenant invasion, and take down as many aliens as possible. Some scenes might be:

A burning city (Like New Alexandria In Halo: Reach), with your group of spartans on the ground, controlling a scarab and blasting the covenant to pieces

A Mountain range, with a secret UNSC base buried deep withing it.

On board a UNSC ship, fighting off covenant hordes as they board

A covenant super carrier.

A Vast dessert.

Green Hillas is mentioned in The Halo wars limited edition book, Also Halopedia is a community driven website so nobody has made a topic of it yet. But heres a description of Green Hills:

A Lot of mountainous regions, but several large cities. It was a farming world like Harvest, but they also field tested new weapons in the mountain regions. When it goit glassed, about 2 million people were killed.

You Could call it [FF] The Spartan Struggle

Should the Spartan 3's die? Or no? I would prefer not.

You should let a few die, just to add to the impact of the story. Or you could make one go missing, make an awesome cliff hanger, make it LOOK like they died, then bring them back in a ball of fire.

Sometimes even heroes die.

Popular characters that die provide a gritty, human side to an otherwise everyday story. Simply filling it with bangs and fight scenes will reveal a vast hollow chasm that your entire story will fall into.

Do your research as well.

And make sure you proof-read and spell check your work. Shoddy workmanship often spoils a decent story.

Yes, I know that we cant keep them alive. I was thinking sort of a bad ODST drop spearates them, and they each encounter different endeavours. Finnally they meet up, but some of them dont make it...

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

Hey, we're sorta writing the same story! Cool.

Hmm... No I dont think so. I guess great minds think alike. What planet does yours take place on? I think I might make this my own story... Hehehehehehe

The first planet that you actually see my characters on is Atlas. There are a few others mentioned though.

Were there any Spartan III's in existence during the glassing of this planet?

I don't think there should be. Halo Wars takes place before the Spartan III program began, I believe. I could be wrong, though.

Thats what I was saying! I asked if we can do another Planet, like Reach.

Since the Spartan III program started so late in the Halo timeline, canon options are limited quite a bit. The first Spartan III class was cleared in 2536. So any time after that is fair game, I guess.

New Constantinople was the first real use of the Spartan IIIs, and not just headhunter teams, the entirety of the Alpha company's Spartans were there. That was also where Vice Admiral Whitcomb (a major player in the battle of Reach) gained some notoriety for leading the forces. The planet was glassed in 2536.

The Leonis Minoris system was home to three colonies. Two were sacrificed to protect the third. Any other information, including the fate of the third planet, is unknown. The war there took place in 2537.

Kholo was partially glassed in 2539, and the Covenant glyph "faith" was etched into its crust with a glassing beam. The only other information about that planet is that some humans survived the glassing, and began fighting Kig-yar over Forerunner relics on the planet.

Miridem was a major battle in 2544, Spartan IIs were present, and Spartan III headhunter teams could have been. Dr Halsey was taken hostage by the Covenant.

Skopje was an inner colony glassed in 2547. ODSTs were in heavy force there. There was a big shipbuilding company on the planet, and the UNSC wanted to retrieve some of the resources and/or blueprints in order to continue building ships for the war. Because of this, they would have been pretty determined to fight, and would have likely sent in Spartan IIIs to assist the ODSTs. A castle that had been built on the planet by a CEO was a very important strategic base.

Arcadia was glassed in 2549, but the battle took place in the early 2530's.

Paris IV was glassed in 2549, and was a major conflict in which Sergeant Major Johnson participated. Not much else is known

New Jerusalem was glassed in 2552. The Rookie from ODST fought in the battle, and was one of the few survivors. UNSC presence was nearly wiped out before they retreated.

Coral was home to a recently discovered Forerunner installation that was expansive, and buried deep underground. It was discovered during a mining operation. Reports that it had been glassed came in during late 2552, but, as the Forerunner structure was there, it was most likely partially glassed. The planet was home to an asteroid belt, where much of the naval battle most likely took place. It may not have been glassed at all. The planet was most likely home to a large Muslim population. (On a side note, I believe that Gray Team could have been present at this battle. They had been out of contact for a long time, and Coral was nearly out of contact as well. Gray Team was out on their own, and they could easily have been on Coral during the battle.)

There was also Reach, and Earth, which were attacked in 2552, Reach being almost completely glassed (with the exception of CASTLE base), and Earth being partially glassed (half of Africa, to stop the Flood).


I think that's all, at least according to Halopedia. You can always make something up, just be careful to choose an original name. Try to make any made-up planet sound as believable as possible. If it is going to be a long story, make a map, so you don't accidentally contradict yourself with directions.

I would go with either the Leonis Minoris sytem, Coral, or New Constantinople. Leonis and Coral leave a lot of creative liberty, as the battles and the results of the battles, are unknown. New Constantinople is a major conflict, Spartan IIIs were definitely there, and you could have a much larger cast of Spartans. Your choice.

I was a victim of a series of accidents, as are we all.

You should just do an average marine so it gets a new perspective from the war.

Been done a million times before.

My advice would be to think outside the box. Do something that isn't about Spartans, soldiers, or anything regarding the human-Covenant war. There's a lot of history pre-2524 which hasn't be explored, for example. I'm writing a short little fan fiction as a side to True Sangheili about the insurrectionist uprising at Far Isle in 2492, for example. Or if you've read Cryptum do something based on that.

Just don't do another story with marines and the Covenant. I always feel hypocritic saying that because my first fan fiction was basically ODSTs vs the Covenant, but I didn't know any better.

Good luck, anyway. Try to come up with your own idea.

We go head first into hell sir!

Make sure you have them in beta company and have it set after 2537 so it doesn't break canon.
