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]]. It housed one of the 49 large power generators that powered various facilities around that area before it was decomissioned. It is one of the many various battlegrounds of the Covenant's invasion. Survivors of the initial assault call it "Hell on Earth".
