'''Havana''' is the capital city of [[Cuba]] on [[Earth]]. | |||
==History== | |||
As one of Earth's six [[space elevator|tether cities]], Havana was managed by a second generation "[[Dumb AI|dumb]]" [[Superintendent-class artificial intelligence]].<ref>''[[Bungie.net]]'', Halo 3: ODST [http://halo.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx Field Guide]</ref><ref name="evg">''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'', page 191</ref> By [[2552]], Havana had evolved into a large industrial city, with a large district of warehouses and facilities, most notably the [[Centennial Orbital Elevator]], a structure called "Tallo Negro del Maiz", which is "Black Stalk of Corn" in Spanish.<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 205</ref> | |||
[[SPARTAN-104]], [[SPARTAN-043]], and [[SPARTAN-058]] were sent to Havana to take back the elevator, which they succeeded in doing.<ref> | ===Covenant Invasion=== | ||
{{Main|Battle of Havana}} | |||
During the [[Battle of Earth]], the city was just one of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]'s many incursion points. They attacked the city with an army of [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] and [[Kig-yar|Jackals]], reinforced by [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraiths]], [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]], and [[Scarab]] walkers. They captured the space elevator and began sending human weapons up the elevator to two waiting ships.<ref>''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'', page 207</ref> During the battle, [[Frederic-104|SPARTAN-104]], [[William-043|SPARTAN-043]], and [[Linda-058|SPARTAN-058]] were sent to Havana to take back the elevator, which they succeeded in doing.<ref>''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'', pages 212-213</ref> However they detonated a nuclear warhead at the top, destroying the elevator.<ref>''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'', page 220</ref> Havana's status after this is unknown. | |||
