Uplift Nature Reserve is a large park and a zoo, located on an artificial island next to the city of New Mombasa, Kenya, Earth. It was funded by New Mombasa Uplift, the company responsible for managing the New Mombasa Orbital Elevator.[1]
Description
The area resides southwest of the Mombasa island, and it is made up of circular segments surrounded by high concrete walls. One of the segments, which also contains the entrance, is attached to the Mombasa Island, while the rest are in a cluster, forming an artificial island. The segments are connected to each other by a bridge.[2]
History
During the Battle of Mombasa, Uplift Reserve was where Regret's Carrier deployed its Gravity Lift's base,[1] making it the highest concentration of Covenant ground troops in the area at the time.[3] Later in the battle, the park was still occupied by the Covenant, who had multiple Wraiths and other vehicles stationed in there. The UNSC forces pushed through the Covenant defenses, eventually crushing all Covenant resistance in the area.[2]The Covenant would later return in larger numbers crushing any remaining resitance. Any animals that may have been housed in the reserve were likely killed or perhaps evacuated by the reserve's personnel or unintentionally released by the Covenant.
Despite the intense fighting, it would seem that the Uplift Reserve itself managed to survive the battle, as overhead shots of the destroyed city show that the grounds are largely intact.
