'''Kikowani Station''' was a train station located in the [[Kikowani|Kikowani district]] of [[New Mombasa]], [[Kenya]], and a part of the [[New Mombasa Transit Authority]] [[MagLev Train]] network in the city. Accessible from [[New Mombasa Sector 0|Sector 0]] of the city, the station was in close proximity of the city's sea wall, with the train tunnels well below sea level. The station platforms however, were situated almost on the city's street level.

== History ==
'''Kikowani Station''' is an [[New Mombasa Transit Authority|NMTA]] [[Maglev train|Maglev]] train station part of the [[New Mombasa MagLev train network]]. It was located in the [[New Mombasa city center|city center]] of [[New Mombasa]], [[Kenya]].{{Ref/Game|Id=circle1arc1|H3ODST|[[Audio log (Halo 3: ODST)|Audio Log]] - [[Sadie's Story]], Circle 1, Arc 1}} The station could be accessed from [[New Mombasa Sector 0|Sector 0]] at street level.{{Ref/Level|Id=streetslevel|H3ODST|Mombasa Streets}}
Early during the [[Covenant]] [[Battle of Mombasa|invasion on the city]] in the [[Battle of Earth]], seven [[Huragok]] managed to escape their [[Jiralhanae]] handlers in Kikowani. Six of them attempted to remove an explosive device from the [[Quick to Adjust|seventh]], they accidentally triggered the device and all but the seventh Huragok were killed. Later multiple riots were taking place at this location.<ref>''[[Sadie's Story]]''</ref>


Later during the battle, the station's surroundings, including the train tunnels, were flooded by water, most likely due to the seawall breaking. This prevented [[Buck's squad|a squad]] of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] from escaping the city through the train tunnels leading to [[Old Mombasa]], so they had to make their way through the Covenant-occupied area by air.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'''</ref>

Commissioner [[Kinsler]] had a private train parked at Platform 9, waiting for Sadie Endesha. A crowd formed on the platforms, trying to board the train, as the Covenant bombarded the station.{{Ref/Game|Id=circle9|H3ODST|Audio Log - Sadie's Story, Circle 9, Arc 2}} With the help of the Quick to Adjust and [[Vergil]], the crowd boarded the train and killed Kinsler{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|Sadie's Story, Circle 9, Arc 5}}. Then, with Sadie and [[Mike Branley]], the civilians departed for Old Mombasa.{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|Sadie's Story, Circle 9, Arc 6}}
 
By the evening, the station's surroundings, including the train tunnels, were flooded by water. This prevented the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] squad [[Alpha-Nine]] from escaping the city through the train tunnels. Instead, the squad stole a Covenant [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] that landed in the station and used it to fly to safety.{{Ref/Level|Id=kikowani|H3ODST|Kikowani Station}} An hour later, Alpha-Nine's missing squadmate [[Jonathan Doherty]] arrived at the entrance of Kikowani Station and found the [[biofoam]] canister that had been used to treat [[Kojo Agu|Romeo]]'s injuries before moving on.{{Ref/Reuse|streetslevel}}
