'''Mombasa''' is a city in the [[Kenya|Kenyan]] portion of the [[East African Protectorate]] on [[Earth]]. The heart of the city was the prosperous [[New Mombasa]] on [[Wikipedia:Mombasa Island|Mombasa Island]]. The nearby mainland was the site of [[Old Mombasa]], a comparatively run-down district.<ref name="bnet">[http://www.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx ''Bungie.net:'' Field Guide entry: New Mombasa]</ref>

{{Main|Human-San'Shyuum alliance}}
The exact founding date of the city is unknown, but it has a long history. It must have been already a prosperous trading town in the 12th century, as one of its earliest mentions is from 1151. Mombasa had always been an important port of the Indian Ocean trade routes and was captured and recaptured countless times by a variety of powers including Portugal, the United Kingdom, and various Arab forces. This violent history led to its [[Swahili]] nickname "Kisiwa Cha Mvita," or "Island of War." The city became part of the independent nation of Kenya in the 20th century. During this era, Mombasa became a tourist destination, boasting numerous resorts and clean white beaches. It was also important as a port city, connecting East Africa to the Indian Ocean.<ref name="wp">[[Wikipedia:Mombasa|Mombasa on Wikipedia]]</ref>
The [[Forerunners]] built numerous facilities on various other Covenant worlds including the [[Guardian Custode]] support areas on Sanghelios,{{Ref/Level|H5G|[[Alliance]]}} a portal to [[Sarcophagus]] from Hesduros,{{Ref/Novel|Halo: The Thursday War|Page=398-399}} and a facility in the Y'Deio system.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc192|Enc22|Page=192}} They also maintained facilities on other worlds that they Covenant would subsume such as Zhoist.{{Ref/Novel|HSS|Chapter=26}}

===The Former Age===
{{Main|The Former Age|Age of Abandonment}}
Following the Great Purification, an unknown complication occurred and the [[Forerunner starship]] ''Anodyne Spirit'' crashed onto the surface of Janjur Qom.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/mendicant-bias|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Universe, Characters|Page=Mendicant Bias|D=30|M=10|Y=2021|LocalArchive=https://archives.halopedia.org/waypoint/www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/mendicant-bias.html}}{{Ref/Book|Enc11|Page=27}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P384&385|Enc22|Page=384-385}} This would invariably lead to the [[War of Wills]], where two factions would fight over control of the ship.
 
Several hundred years before the Covenant,{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg198}} the Sangheili colonized dozens of worlds which ranged from thriving population hubs to frontier worlds with only a handful of pioneer keeps.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22pg234|Enc22|Page=234}} [[Qikost]] and [[Suban]], the moons of Sanghelios, were among the first colonized, with the Sangheili setting up armories on Qikost{{Ref/Novel|Id=HBC1|BC|Chapter=1}} and mines on Suban.{{Ref/Book|EVG|Page=128}} The [[Age of Seven Worlds]] appears to have started about the time of or after the colonization of the seventh world.{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=6}} Interstellar Sangheili colonies included [[Glyke]],{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg232}} [[Hesduros]],{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22pg235|Enc22|Page=235}} [[Codisfold]],{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P258|Enc22|Page=258}} and [[Ulgethon]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=191}} The 76th explored world was [[Creck]].{{Ref/Reuse|HBC1}} These collective worlds were bound by blood and belief over any centralized authority.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22pg198|Enc22|Page=198-199}}
 
It was on one such colony world, Ulgethon, that the Sangheili [[Desecration of Ulgethon|first encountered]] the San'Shyuum thus commencing the [[War of Beginnings]].{{Ref/Game|H2A|[[Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminal 5]]}} Fighting in the war would take place on other Sangheili colonies{{Ref/Reuse|HBC1}} [[Raid at Codisfold|such as]] [[Codisfold]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=258}} The Dreadnought which was in possession of the San'Shyuum at the time, would cause untold destruction on several Sangheili worlds.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg226}} Battling in the war would even reached [[Battle of Sanghelios|Sanghelios itself]].
 
[[File:HM-HighCharityBC.png|thumb|left|200px|''High Charity'' under construction over [[Tuluk'katho]].]]
===Covenant era===
====Early era====
Following the War of Beginnings, Sanghelios would be the capital of the Covenant until ''High Charity'' was completed.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=229}} The remaining Sangheili colonies became some of the primary worlds for the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|coviewaypoint}} A few of these worlds would be given an alternate name by the Prophets. Glyke would be 'blessed' with the name "Sphere of Praise"{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg232}} while Hesduros would be referred to as "Silent Homage" by San'Shyuum scientists.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg235}} The signing of the [[Writ of Union]] would however lead to the [[Rending]] which would take place at several points in Covenant space including [[Sanghelios]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=bcchapt1|BC|Chapter=1}} It would also lead to the settlement and destruction of [[The Refuge]]. At roughly the same, the Covenant would undertake [[Mission to Janjur Qom|a secret mission]] to [[Janjur Qom]].


===Interstellar Era===
The homeworld of the Covenant,{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22pg188-189|Enc22|Page=188-189}} ''[[High Charity]]'' began construction in [[851 BCE]] over Sanghelios.{{Ref/Reuse|bcchapt1}} Construction of the station would continue over [[Tuluk'katho]] and eventually completed in [[791 BCE]].{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22pg226|Enc22|Page=226}} In [[648 BCE]], the San'Shyuum would claim that their cradle world would be destroyed by stellar collapse.{{Ref/Generic|[[Bestiarum]]}}{{Ref/Book|Enc09|Page=113}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc192}}
[[File:Orbital Elevator.jpg|thumb|200px|The [[New Mombasa Orbital Elevator]].]]
Mombasa underwent dramatic change with the arrival of the interstellar era. In response to increasing demand for cheap orbital access, due to its economic stability and prominent location, Mombasa was chosen to be Earth's first [[Space elevator|Space Elevator]] city.<ref name="waypoint">''[[Halo Waypoint]]'', "Space Elevator" article (Archived on [https://web.archive.org/web/20111007185941/http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/theuniverse/locations/gallery/space-tether/e9b2f438-9b5b-477e-8e52-d4e6801e9d5b Archive.org])</ref> The government began construction on one of the wonders of the age: a space elevator (Mombasa's proximity to the equator made it an ideal location) in [[2302]].<ref name="bnet" /> This structure served to lift heavy cargo into geosynchronous orbit without expensive booster rockets filled with fuel.


Over the next eleven years the city experienced explosive growth, but nothing compared to what followed. The city grew out as well as up, its urban sprawl unequaled throughout the continent.<ref name="bnet" />
====Incorporation and expansion====
[[File:H2A Terminals - Balaho discovered.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Balaho is discovered and occupied by the Covenant.]]
The [[Yanme'e]] species had at some point progressed in technology to the point of allowing them interplanetary travel and the colonization of two of their homeworld's moons.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=205}} In [[1112]], the Covenant discovered [[Palamok]] and would incorporate the species after warring with them for a time.{{Ref/Reuse|enc192}} Following this, Sangheili and [[Yanme'e Queen]]s would settle [[Malurok]] together.{{Ref/Book|HWF|Page=55}}


Mombasa would change dramatically within the centuries that followed. By [[2430]], New Mombasa had absorbed the entire island and many of the surrounding towns, which became overrun by residents of Mombasa. The switch of name was never official, and though many of the neighborhoods within direct line of sight to the Mombasa Tether still distributed newspapers and [[Chatter]] directories under their previous names, all municipalities within a 74 km radius of the island became referred to as "Old Mombasa."<ref name="bnet" />
For several years prior to [[1342]], the [[Kig-Yar]] would wage war against the Covenant.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc206|Enc22|Page=206}} Eayn would subsequently be folded into the Covenant. The gas giant in which it orbited would eventually become the only known Covenant controlled world to humanity prior to first contact.<ref name="Bestiarum">'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''[[Bestiarum]]''</ref>{{Ref/Reuse|enc11pg308}}


On [[2512|December 19, 2512]], the Superintendent was activated to manage the city's infrastructure.<ref name="wayp">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/tech/superintendent ''Halo Waypoint:'' Superintendent]</ref>
In 2142, [[Balaho]] and the [[Unggoy]] species were discovered by the Covenant subsequently brought under their authority.{{Ref/Site|Id=unggoy|D=4|M=8|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/unggoy|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Universe, Species|Page=Unggoy|LocalArchive=https://archives.halopedia.org/waypoint/www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/unggoy.html}} Balaho would eventually become a backwater in Covenant space with most shipping routes avoiding it.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc11pg308|Enc11|Page=307-308}}


===Covenant Invasion===
In at least one case, the Covenant [[Extermination of Karava|wiped out]] an [[List of unidentified species#Karava|unidentified civilisation]] on the planet [[Karava]]{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p289|Enc22|Page=289}} and settled the world afterward.{{Ref/Comic|Id=HE5|HE|Issue=5}}
[[File:LC 002 Doc Recon.png|thumb|250px|Some of the affects the Covenant had on the Mombasa area.]]
{{Main|Battle of Mombasa}}
On [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], a small group of [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[capital ship]]s arrived at Earth. Uninformed of the Human presence on Earth, Regret was outnumbered and outgunned against the [[UNSC Home Fleet]]. During the orbital battle, the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s [[Solemn Penance|Flagship]] broke through Earth's defenses and descended to the atmosphere, and anchored itself above New Mombasa.<ref name="halo2">''[[Halo 2]]'', campaign level, [[Outskirts]]</ref> The Covenant started deploying their ground forces to the city, in search of a [[Forerunner]] relic, the [[Installation 00|Ark]] [[The Artifact|Portal]], buried under the city.<ref name="sunrise">''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', "[[Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa]]"</ref>


However, due to a strong UNSC counterattack and the inferior numbers of the Covenant, Regret ordered all of his forces to be evacuated back aboard the Carrier. After this, the ship jumped into [[Slipstream Space|slipspace]] just above the city, releasing a shockwave and pulling multiple city blocks from the mainland with it.<ref name="metropolis">''[[Halo 2]]'', campaign level, [[Metropolis]]</ref> This event became known as the "New Mombasa Slipspace Event."<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', multiplayer map, [[High Ground]]</ref> In the hours after Regret's retreat, a larger Covenant fleet arrived at Earth. After sending in ground forces and crushing the remaining UNSC resistance in the city, they [[Glassing|glassed]] the area in order to uncover the Portal.<ref name="coastal" /> In the [[battle of Tsavo|final days]] of the Battle for Earth, only smoldering ruins of Mombasa remained.<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', campaign level, [[Tsavo Highway (level)|Tsavo Highway]]</ref>
In [[2462]], the [[Unggoy Rebellion]] began. In a play to end the conflict, the Covenant would end up glassing part of [[Balaho]].<ref name="h2a terminal10">''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', [[Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminal 10]]</ref>{{Ref/Reuse|unggoy}}


===Post-war===
The Jiralhanae had managed to achieve spaceflight and established colonies within the [[Oth Sonin system]].{{Ref/Book|Enc11|Page=309}} Shortly prior to [[2492]], Doisac suffered a [[nuclear weapon|nuclear]] war known as the [[Great Immolation]]. In 2492, the Covenant would find and quickly incorporate Doisac and the Jiralhanae into the Covenant.{{Ref/Novel|CH|Page=194}} Since then, the [[San'Shyuum]] settled Jiralhanae on resource-rich worlds to guard them against anyone seeking to claim them for themselves;{{Ref/Comic|Id=esc1|HEsc|Issue=1}} mostly ambitious members of the other client species.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFShocks|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-system-shocks|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - System Shocks|D=30|M=06|Y=2023}}
Following the end of the war, the [[Unified Earth Government]] began [[Project Rebirth]] to rehabilitate war torn areas on Earth.<ref>''[[Halo: Legacy of Onyx]]'', Chapter 2</ref> At some point, the Project started work in Mombasa. The old city hall thoroughfare for Mombasa was to be transformed into the [[United Nations Space Command Memorial Park|UNSC Memorial Park]].<ref name="mombasapressrelease">''[[McFarlane Toys/Halo Point Prizes]]'', [[McFarlane Toys/Halo Point Prizes#Golden Master Chief|Master Chief Statue Press Release]]</ref>


==Geography==
At some point following 2492, but before 2531, new tithes were implemented by ''High Charity''. In response, a series of heretical uprisings took place on various Covenant worlds. [[Avitus]] would be sent to quell these rebellions.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=254}}
Mombasa Island, where the metropolis of New Mombasa lies, is separated from the mainland by two creeks: [[Wikipedia:Tudor Creek|Tudor Creek]] to the north and [[Wikipedia:Kilindini Harbour|Kilindini Harbour]] to the south. Northwest of the island and between the inlets, there used to be a large peninsula, connected to the Mombasa island by the [[Wikipedia:Makupa Causeway|Makupa Causeway]].<ref group="note">This landmass was shown to be covered by water in ''Halo 3: ODST''. This could be explained by the dramatic climbing of sea levels due to global warming, whose results are evident throughout Mombasa. Or by the creation of an artificial seaway that reaches further inland. It's also possible that this simply wasn't created for the in-game area as the only way to see that far west is in [[Panoramic Camera Mode]]</ref>


===Old Mombasa===
[[File:HM PROMETHEUS.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Operation: PROMETHEUS on K7-49.]]
[[File:H2A Campaign OldMombasaSkyline.png|200px|thumb|right|The skyline of Old Mombasa.]]
{{Main|Old Mombasa}}
Much of the mainland was known as Old Mombasa. This includes parts of [[Wikipedia:Likoni|Likoni]], south and southwest of Kilindini Harbour.<ref name="halo2"/><ref name="nmwaypoint">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/new-mombasa ''Halo Waypoint'': New Mombasa]</ref>


The moniker of Old Mombasa was applied to all municipalities in a 74km radius of Mombasa,<ref name="bnet" /> which would include some towns in [[Wikipedia:Kwale County|Kwale County]] and [[Wikipedia:Kilifi County|Kilifi County]].  
===War of Annihilation===
{{Main|Human-Covenant War}}
Early in the War of Annihilation, the [[UNSC]] [[Operation: SILENT STORM|counterattacked]] the invading Covenant and [[Battle of Zhoist|struck]] at [[Zhoist]]. This would result in the regional capital of the [[Ring of Mighty Abundance]] being destroyed,{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg225}} along with UNSC [[Nuclear weapon]]s destroying two out of the [[Ten Cities of Edification]].{{Ref/Novel|HSS|Epilogue}}


====Locations====
The UNSC would make further attempts to strike Covenant-controlled worlds. In 2537, [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-III]] [[SPARTAN-III Alpha Company|Alpha Company]] was [[Operation: PROMETHEUS|deployed]] to asteroid [[K7-49]] in order to disrupt Covenant operations there. While they succeeded, 300 SPARTAN-IIIs were killed in the process.{{Ref/Novel|GoO|Page=83-86}} A similar action would be repeated at [[Pegasi Delta]] in [[2545]] with [[Operation: TORPEDO]]. While also a victory, it would cost the lives of 298 SPARTAN-IIIs of [[SPARTAN-III Alpha Company|Beta Company]].{{Ref/Novel|GoO|Page=16-27}}

===New Mombasa===
As well, in 2552, the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] had made a breakthrough and learned the locations of several Covenant worlds including Sanghelios and Glyke. With this knowledge, when [[Condition Endgame]] was declared at the [[Battle for Earth]], [[Operation: SUNSPEAR]] began resulting in [[Gray Team]] being deployed to Covenant space.{{Ref/Novel|Id=env12|Env|Chapter=12}}  
[[File:Nm skyline 1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The skyline of New Mombasa in 2552.]]
{{Main|New Mombasa}}
New Mombasa encompasses the entirety of Mombasa Island,<ref name="bnet" /> as well as some mainland territories.<ref name="nmwaypoint"/>


The City Center spans much of the Southeast portion of the island, being divided in multiple walled sectors.<ref group="note">In [[Sadie's Story]], multiple areas seen in the ODST campaign are referred to as the city center. This includes [[Kikowani Station]] (Audio log 1, Circle 1, Arc 1), [[ONI Alpha Site]] and the [[New Mombasa Data Center]] (Audio log 8, Circle 3, Arc 2),  the [[NMPD Headquarters]] (Audio log 24, Circle 8, Arc 3), and the area in which the ''Solemn Penance'' arrived at (Audio log 3, Circle 1, Arc 3).</ref>
During the [[Great Schism]], the world Joyous Exultation would act as a rallying point for the Sangheili.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg232}} A [[NOVA bomb]] was detonated there by accident resulting in a quarter of the world being vaporized and its moon shattering.{{Ref/Novel|HGOO|Page=244-245}} Most of the San'shyuum governors of worlds joined the rest of the species on their mass exodus during the Great Schism.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet 54}}


While the majority of New Mombasa has been divided to numbered sectors, some districts such as [[Mbaraki]], [[Kizingo]] or [[Kikowani]] still retain their original names. The original names are often seen in the names of streets or train stations, for example. Some of the districts' names have changed, albeit slightly; areas originally referred to as Tangana and Liwatoni are now referred to as [[Tanaga]] and Liwitoni, respectively. The locations of some districts have changed as well. This is the case with most of the districts on the southern side of the island, where the sea has claimed large areas of land.<ref name="coastal" />
===Postwar===
{{Main|Sangheili-Jiralhanae war|Blooding Years}}
[[File:Hroa4 raid.png|thumb|right|250px|The Banished [[Raid of Kostroda|raiding]] [[Kostroda]].{{Ref/Comic|Id=roaissue4|HRoA|Issue=4}}]]
Just days after [[Treaty of 2552|a tentative peace treaty]] was formed between the [[Fleet of Retribution|group]] that would become the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and the UEG, the Sangheili colony of [[Glyke]] was mysteriously destroyed, killing billions. Rumors had it that the colony's destruction was either an internal conflict or a [[Jiralhanae]] retaliation, but in truth it was destroyed by [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Gray Team]] with a [[NOVA bomb]] as part of [[Operation: SUNSPEAR]], an effort to strike a blow at a major enemy world to try to cause the Covenant to reconsider. Having last heard that [[Earth]] was under attack, Gray Team were unaware of the war's end due to damaged deep-space communications equipment and thus that their mission was no longer necessary.{{Ref/Reuse|env12}}


On the outskirts of New Mombasa existed an industrial wasteland where a [[Tombstone (facility)|UNSC munitions testing facility]] existed.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12358 ''Bungie.net'', An Affinity for Art]</ref>
The destruction of ''High Charity'' would lead to the former Covenant's worlds going into disarray with many of each species returned to their respective homeworlds{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg194}} including the Yanme'e.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=204}} Sangheili soldiers returned to Sanghelios to find feuding and civil unrest.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}


====Locations====
After the dissolution of the Covenant and the exodus of the local San'Shyuum governors,{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet 54}} many of the Covenant worlds fell into the control of various factions such as [[Sephune III]] ending up under [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]],{{Ref/Comic|HLW|Issue=2}} or [[Otraak]] under the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Comic|HRoA|Issue=3}} Some worlds were contested between species and governments,{{Ref/Reuse|HE5}} while [[Joint Occupation Zone]]s were established between the [[Unified Earth Government]] and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] to allow colonies to be administrated by multiple species.{{Ref/Anthology|Fra|[[Oasis]]}}

As the Created uprising began to take shape in 2558, a [[Sanghelios global war|global war]] started on Sanghelios.{{Ref/Novel|HLOO|Chapter=21}} With the onset of the [[Cortana Event]], Sanghelios was [[Subjugation of Sanghelios|directly hit]] by [[Guardian Custode]]s{{Ref/Novel|BadB|Chapter=1}} and despite proximity, Suban suffered minimal damage.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22-230|Enc22|Page=230}} The immediate loss of communications and disruption of logistics would inhibit previously ongoing independence movements on [[Qikost]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=231}}


The [[New Mombasa Police Department]] is the police force of the city. They have stations in Old Mombasa<ref name="ani">''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', campaign level, [[Outskirts]]</ref> and their headquarters is located in New Mombasa.<ref>''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', campaign level, [[NMPD HQ (level)|NMPD HQ]]</ref>
The Cortana Event did not affect the Urs system alone. Created forces would end up occupying Malurok, prompting a detente among the warring parties on the world.{{Ref/Book|Id=en22pg233|Enc22|Page=233}}


The waste management of the city is handled by the [[New Mombasa Waste Management]]. They operate all sorts of garbage cans throughout New Mombasa and Old Mombasa. They also operate the [[M312 Heavy Recovery Vehicle#Halo 3: ODST|Olifant]].<ref name="coastal">''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', campaign level, [[Coastal Highway]]</ref>
[[Balaho]] sided with the Created, meaning no Guardian was sent to the world.{{Ref/Novel|Id=badbchapt3-4|BadB|Chapter=3-4}} Old factories were reactivated and supplies from the Created were shipped to the planet.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFDF|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-driving-force|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Driving Force}} A [[Battle of Balaho|skirmish]] would break out on the planet between various forces of the UEG and Unggoy on the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|badbchapt3-4}}


The parks and greenspace of Mombasa are handled by the [[New Mombasa Parks and Recreation]]. They managed the [[Uplift Nature Reserve]],<ref name="coastal"/> and most likely the [[Kilindini Park Cultural Center]].  
Doisac was hit quite hard, [[Razing of Oth Sonin|being completely destroyed]] by a fleet of Guardians on the direct orders of Cortana.{{Ref/Quest|Id=rep|HI|Reckoning|[[Repository (Halo Infinite level)|Repository]]}} The exploding debris of the planet would obliterate the moon of [[Soirapt]], and heavily damaged the moons of [[Teash]] and [[Warial]]. A large amount of survivors from Teash managed to resettle on the colonies of [[Gathved]], [[Ordun Dal]], and [[Savadok]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=446-447}} The news of this action would reach the Sangheili on Sanghelios three days later, around the time of the [[High Gathering]].{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=1}}


Mail in New Mombasa was handled by the [[NMPost]].<ref name="streets" />
====Post-Created domination====
With the end of the Created conflict and the rise of the [[Banished]], many Sangheili worlds waited to get direction from Sanghelios.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg198}} However, the debilitated security situation in Urs saw several factions make claims on the moon of Suban.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22-230}}


==Economy==
==Government and politics==
The economy of Mombasa is vast, ranging from interstellar/multi-planetary corporations of varying sectors to smaller local Earth businesses.
===Administration===
====Interstellar====
Collectively, the non-cradle worlds of the Covenant were referred to as "tithe worlds"{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg232}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg234}} and described as protectorates.{{Ref/Reuse|out23}} Worlds employed with military planning and production were known as "fortress worlds."{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=189}} The fortress worlds would often be patrolled by {{Pattern|Ekesan|heavy transport}}s{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=275}} and vast urban areas would require transport in vehicles such as the {{Pattern|Iqnucekk|transport}}s, {{Pattern|Maravelotz|transport}}s, and {{Pattern|Khaulio|administrator}}s.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=219}} Overall, these key fortress and stronghold worlds served as key proxies for High Charity in administering the empire.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/the-new-halo-encyclopedia-is-out-today|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=The New Halo Encyclopedia is Out Today|D=11|M=03|Y=2023}}


===Corporations in city===
Spread throughout the empire were regional capital sites known as [[harborage]]s; [[city-ship]]s and command-and-control centers. From them, the Prophets could be broadcasted, [[Covenant starship]]s could be resupplied, and [[Forerunner]] artifacts safeguarded. As well, each inhabited system was given a [[Coordination platform]] and garrison overseen by the [[Ministry of Concert]]. Smaller platforms were placed in strategic locations.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg225}}

==Culture==
====Planetside====
===Media===
Covenant planets had considerable autonomy in running their own affairs.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22pg225|Enc22|Page=225}}
Multiple media organizations exist within Mombasa. The city has two newspapers, the [[Daily Bulletin]] and [[The Mombasa Times]].<ref name="ani" />
=====Sangheili=====
===Architecture===
[[File:Outcasts - State of Vadam.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Vadam on Sanghelios.]]
The architecture of the city is different depending on the location. Old Mombasa's architecture was an odd hodgepodge of old and new: 16th-century Muslim arcades, aging 21st-century office buildings, looming 26th-century power couplings, old concrete homes secured with computerized locks. Clotheslines strung next to power lines, and mechanical gates set into ancient brick walls.<ref name="halo2" /><ref name="ani" /> In some areas, newer skyscrapers had found their home.<ref name="coastal" /><ref>''[[Halo: Reach]]'', multiplayer map, [[Breakneck]]</ref>
Sangheili planets are run in a style similar to [[Wikipedia:Manorialism|feudal manorialism]]. Multiple Sangheili [[clan]]s, known as [[Keep]]s, ally together and are led by a single [[Kaidon]] who controls the surrounding territory. Smaller Sangheili colonies are often governed by only a handful of keeps, which control the entirety of the world's resources. On larger worlds like Sanghelios, hundreds of keeps vie for power and influence using politics and military force.{{Ref/Site|Id=universe|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/sangheili|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Universe, Species|Page=Sangheili|LocalArchive=https://archives.halopedia.org/waypoint/www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/sangheili.html}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg198}}


New Mombasa is composed differently. In some areas there is more use of a commercial focused [[wikipedia: arcology|arcology]],<ref name="streets" /> while in another, it is more focused on industrial design.<ref name="metropolis" />
After the fall of the Covenant, some keeps have transformed into military sects.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg198}}


===People===
-confusion in the meaning of keep
The culture also seems displaced between the different parts of the city; while New Mombasa was populated with industrial workers and ambitious cosmopolitans, Old Mombasa was considered to be more of an old rundown slum that deteriorates by the day. The denizens of the old city were largely isolated from the residents of New Mombasa; even their dialect was completely different from the standard language.<ref name="sunrise" />
=====Jiralhanae=====
Doisac was largely controlled by two [[skein]]s, or master-packs.{{Ref/Reuse|envoy}} Several of their other settled worlds were controlled by master-packs.{{Ref/Reuse|CFShocks}} Despite being settled on numerous resource worlds by the San'Shyuum, the Jiralhanae lacked the ability to mine the resources themselves.{{Ref/Reuse|esc1}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFShocks}}


===Other===
=====Kig-Yar=====
Mombasa also had its own circus called the [[Mombasa Circus]]. As well, rock concerts were held in the city by bands such as [[Fluke of the Narwal]].<ref name="ani" />
For the Kig-Yar, and in the case of [[Eayn]] specifically, it is ruled by an alliance of arch-matriarchs{{Ref/Book|HWF|Page=54}} with pseudo-governments on the world being [[Wikipedia:Ochlocracy|ochlocracies]] and [[Wikipedia:luck egalitarianism|Luck egalitarianism]] forming the base of justice systems.{{Ref/Generic|[[Bestiarum]]}} Some of these pseudo-governments ruled over full continents of the world such as with the continents of [[Ruuht]] and [[Ah'lomet]].{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/catalog-interaction/4c3e1c6f-6519-4ee0-83a4-4bac13bf07a3/posts?page=48|Site=Halo Waypoint Forums|Page=Catalog Interaction|D=13|M=04|Y=2016|LocalArchive=Catalog/Archive/2014#Post_.2312}}


==Known Residents==
====Fringe====
*[[Sadie Endesha]]
{{Main|Covenant fringe}}
*[[Daniel Endesha]]
Most of the Fringe species were relegated to their homeworld or remote locations and most often locally administered by San'Shyuum executors and a cortege of Kig-Yar enforcers.{{Ref/Book|Id=encfringe|Enc22|Page=214}} Fringe space would be protected by [[Covenant fleet]]s such as the [[Fleet of Recalcitrant Ire]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CFFire|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-covering-fire|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Covering Fire|D=31|M=01|Y=2024}}

The Covenant occupied hundreds of worlds,{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg227}} though the Covenant would often leave a world untouched unless it offered particular treasures both religious and practical.{{Ref/Reuse|coviewaypoint}} These worlds were based primarily out of the [[Orion Arm]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg188-189}}{{Ref/Book|Id=warfleet galaxy|HWF|Page=12-13}}{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/sanshyuum|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Universe, Species|Page=San'Shyuum|LocalArchive=https://archives.halopedia.org/waypoint/www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/sanshyuum.html}}{{Ref/Note|The [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/covenant Halo Waypoint article] for the Covenant claims that the empire "dominated much of the galaxy".

*[[Jersey Morelli]] and [[Janissary James]] - New Jersey
**Chapter 9 mentions Kamal needing to head to New Jersey. This is in reference to having to go meet Jersey Morelli. This is reiterated in Chapter 10 with Kamal being told that a driver at [[Jerry's Diner]] (possibly in Pittsburgh) will take him to New Jersey. When Kamal and Jersey meet, Jersey makes a sarcastic remark about heading to Atlantic City. When Jersey meets Rani in Boston in Chapter 10, he has NYC on his bags, something that Rani notices immediately. Also, he has an NYC accent something that Jersey himself mentions. As for Janissary, Jersey and Janissary live in the same building as mentioned in Chapter 1. Also when Durga brings up the emergency call it is for Bergen County, New Jersey which is on the western banks of the Hudson in the NYC area.
*[[Rani Sobeck]] - Boston, Kentucky, and Washington DC
**Sarah and Rani talk about leaving Boston in Chapter 10.
 
==other info==
*Chapter 9, public health law requires people to be tested for intestinal TB if they are exposed to it. Testing costs money
*Chapter 10, people not from Earth referred to as colonial. Jersey turned 18 in June of that year.
