History[edit]
Ancient history[edit]
Circa 97,445 BCE, the Forerunners built a slipspace portal leading to Installation 00 outside of the Milky Way galaxy, in what would later become Kenya.[7][8] Around the same time, a human elder known as N'chala and his tribe lived nearby, observing the Portal's construction.[9]
Early history[edit]
In the 20th-century, the military base Crow's Nest was constructed in the country.[10]
Due to economic stability and location, Mombasa was chosen to host Earth's first space elevator and construction began in 2302. By 2430, nearly a 74km radius around the city became known as "Old Mombasa".[11]
Human-Covenant War[edit]

On October 20, 2552, the Covenant's Prophet of Regret attacked the city of Mombasa. UNSC In Amber Clad and numerous other UNSC forces attempted to stall the Covenant there.[5] In the end, the Prophet escaped by slipspace in the city causing damage and the eventual destruction of the space tether.[6]
