==History==
Once a tropical paradise, [[Zanzibar]] is now a small abandoned township off the coast of Africa about 175 km south of [[New Mombasa]], which was the [[Covenant]]'s main incursion point in their [[The First Battle of Earth|first attack]] on Earth in [[2552]].

The island houses one of the 49 large power generators that powered various facilities around that area before it was decommissioned for the war. It was one of the many various battlegrounds of the Covenant's invasion. Survivors of the initial assault call it "Hell on Earth".

[[Wind Power Station 7]] is located on Zanzibar Island. It has been all but decommissioned. It sits as a mute reminder of the [[East African Protectorate]]'s late 25th-century attempt at re-nationalization.
