Havana: Difference between revisions

In [[2552]], Havana had evolved into a large industrial city, with a large district of warehouses and facilities, most notably the [[Centennial Orbital Elevator]], a structure called "Tallo Negro del Maiz", which is "stalk of black corn" in Spanish.<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], Page 205</ref>

During [[The Second Battle of Earth]], the city was just one of the Covenant's many incursion points. They attacked the city with an army of [[Brutes]] and [[Jackals]], reinforced by [[Wraith|Wraiths]], [[Banshee| Banshees]], and [[Scarab|Scarabs]]. They captured the elevator and began sending human weapons up the elevator to two waiting ships.<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], Page 207</ref>

During the [[Battle of Havana]], [[SPARTAN-104]], [[SPARTAN-043]], and [[SPARTAN-058]] were sent to Havana to take back the elevator, which they succeeded in doing. But they detonated a nuclear warhead at the top, destroying the elevator and possibly scattering radioactive materials over Havana.<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], Pages 212-213</ref> Havana's status is unknown, but it was under [[Covenant]] control at its last mentioning. It is possible that the city has been completely destroyed.
