The city center, during the Battle of Mombasa.

The City Center of New Mombasa was located at the very heart of the city, in the center of the Mombasa island.

The city center housed numerous massive arcology skyscrapers, which easily dwarfed the buildings in the rest of the city. Many of the highest skyscrapers in the city center had 300 stories, with the tallest being the Vyrant Telecom tower, reaching two kilometers in height.[1] The city center was surrounded by a large wall-like building complex on all sides, elevating it above the surrounding terrain.

In 2552, the City Center, along with every other sector in the city, was closed when the Covenant invaded during the Battle of Earth.[2] Immediately after the High Prophet of Regret's assault carrier initiated a Slipspace jump in the city, the city was occupied by a Jiralhanae-led invasion fleet and was eventually glassed.[3]
