While the city suffered minimal damage from hostile and friendly fire, many citizens were killed by the genocidal Covenant. During the battle, the UNSC established a relief camp in the nearby city of [[Wikipedia:Akron, Ohio|Akron]].<ref>''[[Halo: Uprising]]'', [[Halo: Uprising Issue 4|Issue #4]]</ref> During the final stages of the [[Battle of Earth]], Covenant forces retreated to North America while the [[Prophet of Truth]] fled to [[Installation 00]], with at least one [[Jiralhanae]] expedition deploying to Arizona to locate and activate a Forerunner artifact. This effort was foiled by elements of the [[UNSC Home Fleet]]. | ||

==Trivia== | |||
*The [[Halo: Escalation Issue 7|seventh issue]] of ''[[Halo: Escalation]]'' shows a map of the URNA which displays the borders of the provinces and states, suggesting they continue to exist in some capacity in the 26th century. Strangely, the province of Quebec is colored differently from the rest of the republic. However, given that the province is the same color as the depicted water bodies, while Hudson Bay is colored like a landmass, this is almost certainly the result of a coloring error rather than an attempt to depict Quebec as being separate from the URNA. Additionally, part of northeastern Mexico is also depicted as a water body. This is also presumed to be an error, as the entire Texan landmass that borders northeastern Mexico is colored as land rather than water. Mid-26th century depictions of North America seen in ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 4'' prove that the continent still holds a similar shape to its 21st century appearance, with Hudson Bay, Quebec, and northeastern Mexico still intact. | |||
*In ''[[i love bees]]'' [[Rani Sobeck]] makes direct reference to the [[wikipedia:Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Fifth Amendment]], implying that the [[Wikipedia:United States Constitution|United States Constitution]] is still the foundation for law in 26th-century America (though it is possible that the term "plead the Fifth" simply remains in the American lexicon as a figure of speech). This is further supported by the continued existence of the [[Wikipedia:Internal Revenue Service|IRS]].<ref>''[[i love bees]]'', [[Axon]] [[Media:ILB Taxes suck.ogg|taxes_suck]]</ref> | |||
*The URNA is similar to the proposed [[Wikipedia:North American Union|North American Union]]. | |||
