The Vyrant Telecom tower[1] is a skyscraper in the Tanaga district of the New Mombasa city center owned by the Vyrant Telecom company. It was a prominent feature of the New Mombasa skyline, able to be seen throughout most of the southeast portion of the Mombasa.[2] The NMPD headquarters was located in a building adjacent to the lower floors of the tower.[3]
History[edit]
Battle of Mombasa[edit]
- Main article: Battle of Mombasa
During the Covenant invasion of Earth and Mombasa, the building suffered plasma damage. The building would eventually be one of the last standing structures in downtown New Mombasa as the Covenant's glassing operations to uncover the Excession escalated.[4]
Postwar[edit]
By November 2559, the Smart AI Mercury was using the tower for his Waypoint Radio station. In one instance, Mercury transferred from his server in the tower down to a New Mombasa Police Department precinct, and then eventually back to the tower.[5]
