Centennial Orbital Elevator: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

Given its name and age, it is probable that the elevator was constructed in commemoration of some event that occurred in the mid-2200s (most likely the start of development on the [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]], unveiled after years of research in [[2291]]).

During the [[Battle of Earth]] on [[2552 #November|November 3, 2552]], the COE was one of the few surviving heavy lifting orbital elevators on Earth. In the [[Battle of Havana]], the elevator was taken over by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Jiralhanae]] forces, who intended to use it to transport stolen [[FENRIS Nuclear Warhead]] into orbit. Since the Covenant invasion, contact with the elevator control had been lost. The [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]] were deployed to Havana to retake the elevator and secure the nukes. They managed to distract a Covenant [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform]] by leading it toward a pile of fuel barrels. The Scarab stepped on one, and the resulting explosion destroyed the Scarab and the remaining Jiralhanae. Blue Team secured the nukes, entered an ascent car, and ascended up the strand. The station and the elevator were destroyed when the Blue Team detonated six of the nuclear warheads aboard a [[Covenant destroyer]] in close proximity to Station Wayward Rest. The station was obliterated by the blast and the entire length of the COE crumpled and fell back to Earth.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', "chapters 23-24"</ref>
