New Alexandria (location)
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
New Alexandria was a metropolitan city located at Eposz on the human colony world of Reach.[2]
History
Unlike on Earth, where most cities have grown across the centuries, Reach's cities were "planned communities"; the buildings and infrastructure were designed and built into a cohesive urban habitat from the start.[3] Three space elevators were located near the city.
The city became the target of a Covenant attack during the Fall of Reach in 2552, resulting in the five-day Siege of New Alexandria. Although civilian transports successfully evacuated the city thanks to the efforts of Noble Six, the city was ultimately glassed by the Covenant.
At some point after the Human-Covenant War the city was reconstructed to some effort, and a statue to Noble Team was built at Hosok Tere as a memorial [4]
