History[]
Human-Covenant war[]
- Main article: Battle of Earth
In late 2552, the Covenant attacked the city of Cleveland. The Covenant rounded up a lot of civilians and took them to Old Cleveland.[1] To assist with any of the fleeing and injured civilians of Cleveland, a relief camp was set up in the adjacent town of Akron.[2]
In and around the same time, the SPARTAN-II's of Frederic-104, Linda-058, and William-043, used the Base Segundo Terra to help plan attacks on the Covenant in Havana and the rest of Cuba. Blue Team and UNSC forces would then be deployed to Cuba.[3] In the ensuing battle, the city's Space elevator would be destroyed.[4]
Near the end of the Battle of Earth, Operation: MARSH FLASH was conducted in Arizona. The Operation was a success but resulted in the detonation of a Nuclear weapon.[5]

In 2557, the Ur-Didact would use the Composer on the city of New Phoenix.[6]
