'''Elysium City''' is an urban center located on the planet [[Eridanus II]].

==History==
[[File:TFoR AS - Elysium City school.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Primary Education Facility Number 119 in Elysium City]]
In [[2513]], [[M-EDF 9/21/1]], commanded by [[Lieutenant Colonel]] [[Ponder]], had an operation in Elysium City. M-EDF 9/21/1 was ordered by [[UNSC Fleet Command|FLEETCOM]] to neutralize the second-in-command to the Insurrectionist leader, [[Colonel]] [[Robert Watts]]. Against FLEETCOM's insistence on a show of force, Ponder attempted to personally speak to family members of the second-in-command, when a M-EDF 9/21/1 sharpshooter took a hasty shot, completely collapsing the situation.<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', page 111</ref>

Elysium City was also the city in which [[John-117]] grew up, before he was chosen for the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II project]] and replaced with a [[flash cloning|flash clone]]. John originally attended school at [[Elysium City Primary Education Facility Number 119|Elysium City Primary Education Facility No. 119]], where he met both [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey]] and [[Jacob Keyes]] in [[2517]]. The school had a substantial playground, including [[Gravball]] courts, and a grassy hill were John-117 played King of the Hill.<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', pages 24-31</ref>

In 2525, an insurrectionist attack on a nightclub resulted in the deaths of a number of innocent civilians as well as one [[Colonial Military Administration]] pilot, sending another into a coma. The resulting investigation into poor management and guarding of military equipment on the CMA's part would be one of the causes of the organization's downfall.<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe|Halo: Evolutions]]'', [[Dirt]]</ref>

Elysium City, along with the rest of Eridanus II, was [[Glassing|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]] in [[2530]].<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', page 240</ref>

By 2557, the city had been rebuilt to a certain amount, as [[Nova Austin Station]] offered flights to the city from [[Mindoro]].

==Trivia==
*The city's [[Civilian security forces|law enforcement agency]] was called the [[Elysium City Law Enforcement]].
*Elysium has strong links with the trends of the ''Halo'' series, especially through its name. "Elysium" was a Latinization of the Greek word "Elysion," which meant paradise. In [[List of Greek mythology references in Halo|Greek mythology]], the Elysium Fields were a series of areas where the virtuous dead could exist in happiness.
