Ancient history
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. Around the same time, a human elder known as N'chala and his tribe lived nearby, observing the Portal's construction.



Early history
In the 20th-century, the military base Crow's Nest was constructed in the country.
