The '''Utgard Mall''' was a park in the capital city of [[Utgard]] on the planet [[Harvest]] in the [[Epsilon Indi system]], located near the [[Harvest Parliament Building]].<ref name="ch116">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 116''</ref> It was the largest park on the planet.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 238''</ref> In the center of the mall, there was a small hill with a large fountain and a bandstand on top. The hill was surrounded by aging, gray-barked oak trees.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 79''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 333''</ref> There were large towers shrouded in glass at each end of the mall. The mall could hold a vast majority of Harvest's 300,000 residents.{{Ref/Reuse|ch116}} | |||
==History== | |||
Before the mall's creation, the mall's land was formerly used as a muddy parking ground for [[JOTUN]] machines.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 322''</ref> The [[Solstice Celebration]] on [[2525|January 16, 2525]] took place in the Utgard Mall. When the [[mass driver]] fired, as per tradition, all power in the mall went out.{{Ref/Reuse|ch116}} | |||
During the [[Covenant]]'s [[First Battle of Harvest|first attack]] on [[Harvest]], a majority of Harvest's surviving population was evacuated to the mall. Officers from the [[Utgard Constabulary]] guarded the civilians with [[humbler stun device]]s and [[MA5 series|MA5 assault rifle]]s to not only prevent a Covenant attack, but to ensure that the civilians did not riot against the [[Parliament of Harvest|government]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 319''</ref> After Harvest's population was evacuated to the [[space elevator]]s, [[Ponder|Captain Ponder]] remained in the mall to distract the Covenant to allow the mass driver to fire at the attacking Covenant [[Rapid Conversion|ship]] to disable it. All windows in the mall were destroyed by the shot and the ship nearly crashed into the mall, landing just outside of it. After the ship was disabled, Ponder was killed by the angered [[Tartarus]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 336''</ref> The mall was likely destroyed when the Covenant [[glassed]] the planet. | |||
