In [[2513]], [[M-EDF 9/21/1]], commanded by [[Lieutenant Colonel]] [[Ponder]], had an operation in Elysium City. M-EDF 9/21/1 was ordered by [[UNSC Fleet Command|FLEETCOM]] to neutralize the second-in-command to the Insurrectionist leader, [[Colonel]] [[Robert Watts]]. Against FLEETCOM's insistence on a show of force, Ponder attempted to personally speak to family members of the second-in-command, when a M-EDF 9/21/1 sharpshooter took a hasty shot, completely collapsing the situation.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 111''</ref>

Elysium City was also the city in which [[John-117]] grew up, before he was chosen for the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II project]] and replaced with a [[flash cloning|flash clone]]. John originally attended school at [[Elysium City Primary Education Facility Number 119|Elysium City Primary Education Facility No. 119]], where he met both [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey]] and [[Jacob Keyes]] in [[2517]]. The school had a substantial playground, including [[Gravball]] courts, and a grassy hill were John-117 played King of the Hill.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''pages 24-31''</ref>

In 2525, an insurrectionist attack on a nightclub resulted in the deaths of a number of innocent civilians as well as one [[Colonial Military Administration]] pilot, sending another into a coma. The resulting investigation into poor management and guarding of military equipment on the CMA's part would be one of the causes of the organization's downfall.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Dirt]]"</ref>

Elysium City, along with the rest of Eridanus II, was [[Glassing|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]] in [[2530]].<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 240''</ref>
