==History==
==Overview==
When the city was attacked during the [[Battle of Arcadia]], its first defenders were the [[Arcadian Patrol]], the police force of Arcadia. Shortly afterward, [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Red Team]] arrived to help defend the city and evacuate its residents. Later, the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} arrived and deployed forces to help defend the city. While this combined force battled the Covenant, civilians fled to three different [[Unidentified civilian cargo ship|cargo ships]] for evacuation. Shortly after arriving, the ''Spirit of Fire'' reinforcements secured the subway exit, saving the lives of many civilians. Although one of the cargo ships was destroyed, the evacuation was successful.<ref name="city"/> However, Red Team and the ''Spirit of Fire'' ground forces were forced to retreat.<ref name="outskirts"/>
===Topography and ecology===
Arcadia City was home to several resorts and was located near the coast. It hosted several landing pads for civilian transports, allowing for a steady flow of tourist traffic.{{Ref/Reuse|city}} The city had a number of [[spaceport]]s in the city center interlinked with a [[MagLev train]] system.{{Ref/Level|Id=outskirts|HW|[[Arcadia Outskirts]]}}
 
Like on many other colonies, the architecture in the city largely followed a single consistent direction, which involved sleek, mostly white buildings as well as expansive parks and boulevards, along with MagLev rails crisscrossing amidst the cityscape. The city also had several large statues seemingly fashioned after classical sculptures, a feature rarely seen in other 26th-century human cities.{{Ref/Reuse|city}}
