== | ==Background== | ||
The island is located off the coast of Africa about 175 km south of [[New Mombasa]], which was the [[Covenant]]'s main incursion point in their [[Battle of Earth|initial 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. | As part of the [[East African Protectorate]]'s attempts at re-nationalization in the late 25th century, [[Wind Power Station 7]] was constructed at the Zanzibar coast next to an ancient fortress. However, the effort was not particularly successful and as a result, the station was later decommissioned. Notably, like many abandoned industrial sites, the station was used as a [[SPARTAN Program|Spartan]] training site.<ref>'''Halo 3''', multiplayer map ''[[Last Resort]]'' (map description)</ref> 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>''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', multiplayer map [[Stonetown]]</ref> | ||
