==History==
==Background==
In the 2400s, the East African Protectorate started a re-nationalization initiative creating [[Wind Power Station 7]] on the island{{Ref/Map|Halo 2|Zanzibar|Detail=Description}} and several wave power stations.{{Ref/Reuse|earth}} Wind Power Station 7 would be abandoned, and like many other industrial sites, was eventually used as a [[SPARTAN Program|Spartan]] training site.{{Ref/Map|Halo 3|[[Last Resort]]|Detail=Description}}
Once a tropical paradise, [[Zanzibar]] is now a small abandoned township off the coast of Africa about 20 clicks north of [[New Mombasa]], which was the [[Covenant]]'s main incursion point in their [[The First Battle of Earth|attack on Earth]] in [[2552]].


Following the [[Human-Covenant War]] and the destruction of the [[Mombasa Tether]], the construction of a new [[space elevator]] was initiated on the Indian Ocean just off the coast of Zanzibar Island.{{Ref/Map|[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]|[[Stonetown]]}}
It housed one of the 49 large power generators that powered various facilities around that area before it was decommissioned. It is one of the many various battlegrounds of the Covenant's invasion. Survivors of the initial assault call it "Hell on Earth".


==Gameplay==
[[Wind Power Station 7]] is located on Zanzibar Island. It has been all but decommissioned. It sits as a mute reminder of the [[East African Protectorate|EAP]]'s late 25th-century attempt at re-nationalization. This area is the location of the ''[[Halo 2]]'' multiplayer map ''[[Zanzibar]]''.
This area is the location of the ''[[Halo 2]]'' multiplayer map ''[[Zanzibar]]'', the ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' multiplayer map ''[[Stonetown]]'', and the ''[[Halo 3]]'' multiplayer map ''[[Last Resort]]''.
