Situated in a stretch of pre-war torn downtown [[New Mombasa]], the [[Liwitoni Station|Liwitoni MagLev station]] provides the central setting for Terminal. Long gone are the citizens, who would regularly partake in lunch, shopping and socializing amongst the towering skyscrapers and scattered palms. The people have fled in fear of the coming Covenant forces but plenty of danger remains – the city's high-speed MagLev commuter train has been badly damaged and now hurtles erratically through the transit system.<ref name="Manual"/><ref name="bnet">[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=5467 '''Bungie.net''' - Next Stop: Terminal]</ref> The station is littered with UNSC [[propaganda]] and other posters, while screens in the terminal display Channel [[Seven|7]]. Additionally, advertisements for the [[Hog]] can be found in the map. There is a thunderstorm bearing resemblance to that found above the [[Portal storm]] found in ''[[Halo 3]]'' missions [[Tsavo Highway]] and [[The Storm]] either to the north or to the south of the station, although the skyscrapers mostly hide it. | Situated in a stretch of pre-war torn downtown [[New Mombasa]], the [[Liwitoni Station|Liwitoni MagLev station]] provides the central setting for Terminal.
