New Llanelli

New Llanelli, referred to by the Sangheili as Laqil, was a UEG colony world located in the Brunel system.
== History ==
=== Founding ===
New Llanelli was originally a small agricultural colony, with only three settlements on the entire planet, including Abergavenny, the planet's capital.
=== Human-Covenant war ===
Anthony Madsen was born on New Llanelli on October 19, 2530. The planet was invaded by the Covenant Empire in 2546, during the battle a firefight against a Covenant lance resulted in the deaths of Sergeant Simon Riley's entire platoon, with only Riley and Corporal Grace Handel surviving, though Handel ultimately succumbed to her wounds and died, despite Riley's attempt to save her.
=== Post-war ===
One man survived the glassing and lived on the planet until 2553 when he was rescued. The planet became home to numerous weapons caches established by the Servants of the Abiding Truth. After Avu Med 'Telcam's failed assault against Arbiter Thel 'Vadam, the Servants of Abiding Truth retreated to New Llanelli, establishing a new base of operations in the ruins of Abergavenny. On January 21, 2558, Spartan-III Headhunter Lian-G059 was deployed on a covert ONI mission to the fortified city and successfully assassinated 'Telcam.
