=== | Prior to the 26th century, the island atoll of Aranuka had been swept beneath the ocean waves.{{Ref/Reuse|legacychapt2}} Of the four [[Space elevator]]s that survived the 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/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Field Guide}} the Aranuka tether was one of them.{{Ref/Reuse|legacychapt2}} | ||
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/Novel|Id=legacychapt2|[[Halo: Legacy of Onyx]]|Chapter=2}} | |||
