New Alexandria was a metropolitan city located on the supercontinent Eposz, on the human Inner colony world of Reach. The city was located on the shores of an ocean.

In 2552, the city was attacked and partially glassed by the Covenant. By 2610, the city was at least partially rebuilt.

". . . when Mom was working, I’d go on long walks in the parks in New Alexandria and take photos, study what I found."

Geography

In the city center, a central MagLev train line connected some of the buildings, terminating at the Nomolos Tower. Closer to the city's cargo port, numerous container transport tracks crisscrossed in the space between the lower levels of the buildings. Three space elevators as part of the Delphi Triple-Strand Network were located on the ocean north-west of the city. Notably, the city was also the location of the UNSC's Fleet Command Headquarters and the ONI Olympic Tower. Two known areas of the city are Downtown New Alexandria (which housed the Sinoviet Center) and Lower New Alexandria (which was home to Caracalla Park).

In 2522, Marcus Hudson was born in New Alexandria.

Human-Covenant War

Main article: Siege of New Alexandria

Throughout the war with the Covenant, the population of New Alexandria largely lived carefree under the assumption that the attacks occurring in the Outer Colonies would never happen to them.

At some point between 2538 and 2552, Insurrectionist forces attempted to attack Reach using a Mule. This ship would crash land near the city.

The city became the target of a Covenant attack during the Fall of Reach in 2552, which resulted in the five-day Siege of New Alexandria. Although several civilian transports successfully evacuated the city thanks to the efforts of Noble Six, the city was ultimately Glassed by the Covenant.

Postwar

At some point after the Human-Covenant War the city was reconstructed to some effort, and a statue to Noble Team was built at Hősök tere as a memorial.
