'''Kikowani Station''' is an [[New Mombasa Transit Authority|NMTA]] [[Maglev train|Maglev]] train station located in the [[New Mombasa city center|city center]] of [[New Mombasa]], [[Kenya]].<ref name="circle1arc1">'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''' - [[Audio log|Audio Log]]: ''[[Sadie's Story]], Circle 1, Arc 1''</ref> The station could be accessed from [[New Mombasa Sector 0|Sector 0]] at street level.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''' - Level: ''[[Mombasa Streets]]''</ref>

On October 20th, 2552, [[Sadie Endesha]] purchased a train ticket at Kikowani Station bound for [[Old Mombasa]]. She boarded train 14 and then departed.<ref name="circle1arc1"/>

Early during the [[Covenant]] [[Battle of Mombasa|invasion on the city]] in the [[Battle for 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]],<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''' - [[Audio log|Audio Log]]: ''[[Sadie's Story]], Circle 6, Arc 2''</ref> they accidentally triggered the device and all but the seventh Huragok were killed.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''' - [[Audio log|Audio Log]]: ''[[Sadie's Story]], Circle 6, Arc 3''</ref>

Commissioner [[Kinsler]] had a private train parked at platform 9, waiting for Sadie Endesha. As well, a crowd formed on the platforms trying to board the train as the Covenant bombarded the station.<ref name="circle9">'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''' - [[Audio log|Audio Log]]: ''[[Sadie's Story]], Circle 9, Arc 2''</ref> With the help of a [[Huragok]], the crowd boarded the train and killed Kinsler<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''' - [[Audio log|Audio Log]]: ''[[Sadie's Story]], Circle 9, Arc 5''</ref> and with Sadie and [[Mike Branley]], departed for Old Mombasa.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''' - [[Audio log|Audio Log]]: ''[[Sadie's Story]], Circle 9, Arc 6''</ref>

By the night of the first day of the battle, the station's surroundings, including the train tunnels, were flooded by water. This prevented [[Alpha-Nine|a squad]] of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] from escaping the city through the train tunnels. Instead, the squad stole a Covenant [[Type-52 Phantom|Phantom]] that landed in the station and used it to fly to safety.<ref name="kikowani">'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', campaign level ''[[Kikowani Station (level)|Kikowani Station]]''</ref> An hour later, the [[Rookie]] visited the outside of Kikowani Station and found the [[biofoam]] canister that had been used to treat [[Kojo Agu|Romeo]]'s injuries before moving on.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', campaign level ''[[Mombasa Streets]]''</ref>
