'''Aranuka''' is vast city-platform built above the original [[Wikipedia:Kiribati|Kiribati]] atoll of Aranuka, located just north of the equator, in the Gilbert Islands. 

==History==
Prior to the 26th century, the island atoll of Aranuka had been swept beneath the ocean waves, leading its thousand inhabitants to construct a vast platform on which they established a new city. The city of Aranuka hosts the [[Aranuka Space Tether]], which narrowly managed to survive the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="waypoint">'''[[Halo Waypoint]]''', ''"Space Elevator" article'' (backup link on [https://web.archive.org/web/20111007185941/http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/theuniverse/locations/gallery/space-tether/e9b2f438-9b5b-477e-8e52-d4e6801e9d5b Archive.org])</ref><ref>'''[[Bungie.net]]''', ''Halo 3: ODST [http://halo.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx Field Guide]''</ref> 

During the [[Battle for Earth]] in [[2552]], thousands of Aranukan islanders were killed when the [[Covenant]] attacked and destroyed much of the original city-platform in their ruthless search for a supposed hidden [[Forerunner]] artifact. After the UNSC drove the Covenant away, the [[United Earth Government]] worked to reconstruct the city-platform as part of [[Project Rebirth]]. Despite it being restored into a tropical jewel of the Pacific, many citizens had not been eager to return to Aranuka after the war, and by [[2558]], the city still had a small population. In [[2553]], [[Molly Patel]] and her adoptive parents, [[Yong Lee]] and [[Asha Moyambe]], moved to Aranuka from Wisconsin, [[URNA]]. Over the next five years, Molly adjusted to her new life there and also attended [[Admiral Harper High School]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Legacy of Onyx]]''', ''Chapter 2''</ref>
