The '''Second Battle of Mombasa''' was a bloody engagement between [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces that is depicted in the [[John-117 Monument]]. The battle itself, or at least some of the events depicted, never actually occurred, but it serves as a summary of the final days of the [[Human-Covenant War]] and [[John-117]]'s ultimate sacrifice.<ref>http://halo3.com/believe/test/shell.html</ref><ref group="note">This battle was portrayed in the ''[[Believe]]'' advertising campaign prior to ''Halo 3''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s release. The fashion in which it is portrayed is considered to be non-canon.

The fate of New Mombasa as depicted in the diorama was later contradicted: ''Halo 3: ODST'' reveals that the city sustained relatively minor damage during Regret's escape and was glassed hours later, and that a protracted battle never occurred in the city's ruins.</ref> | The '''Second Battle of Mombasa''' was a bloody engagement between [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces that is depicted in the [[John-117 Monument]].
