'''Tayari Plaza''' is an area located in [[New Mombasa Sector 5|Sector 5]] on [[Wikipedia:Mombasa Island|Mombasa Island]] in [[New Mombasa]], [[Kenya]].{{Ref/Level|Id=tayari|ODST|Tayari Plaza}} A module component mirrored in the city's [[new Mombasa Sector 4|Sector 4]],{{Ref/Level|ODST|Mombasa Streets}} the plaza is lower than the level of the surrounding streets and is accessed through a series of staircases.{{Ref/Reuse|tayari}}

After the catastrophic [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] event that nearly obliterated New Mombasa and thwarted an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] group's [[Operation: BUMRUSH|attempted orbital insertion]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Veronica Dare]]'s [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|drop pod]] was knocked off course and crashed at this area at high speed. The impact damaged her drop pod which prevented Captain Dare from exiting it. Being stuck on her pod Dare called on [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Edward Buck]] to rescue her. However, Covenant troops moved in on the pod, and Dare had to force her way out of the pod and escape the area alone.{{Ref/Reuse|tayari}}

After fighting alongside Marines to get to Tayari Plaza, Buck managed to find the pod. After a brief firefight, Buck opened Dare's pod to find it empty and assumed Captain Dare was killed or captured. The plaza was also the site of one of the squad's first encounters with [[Huragok]] armed with explosive harnesses. As the Huragok approached Sergeant Buck in an apparently threatening manner, his squad's sniper, [[Kojo Agu|Kojo "Romeo" Agu]], arrived and killed the alien.{{Ref/Reuse|tayari}}
