During the [[Battle for Earth]] in [[2552]], thousands of Aranukan islanders were killed when the [[Covenant]] attacked and destroyed much of the original city-platform in their ruthless search for a supposed hidden [[Forerunner]] artifact. After the UNSC drove the Covenant away, the [[United Earth Government]] worked to reconstruct the city-platform as part of [[Project Rebirth]]. Despite it being restored into a tropical jewel of the Pacific, many citizens had not been eager to return to Aranuka after the war, and by [[2558]], the city still had a small population. In [[2553]], [[Molly Patel]] and her adoptive parents, [[Yong Lee]] and [[Asha Moyambe]], moved to Aranuka from Wisconsin, [[URNA]]. Over the next five years, Molly adjusted to her new life there and also attended [[Admiral Harper High School]]. | During the [[Battle for Earth]] in [[2552]], thousands of Aranukan islanders were killed when the [[Covenant]] attacked and destroyed much of the original city-platform in their ruthless search for a supposed hidden [[Forerunner]] artifact.
