The '''New Mombasa industrial zone''' was a district in the city of [[New Mombasa]], [[Kenya]], located on [[Mombasa|Mombasa Island]]. [[New Mombasa Sector B|Sector B]] and [[Kilindini]] were located within the industrial zone, with New Mombasa's [[New Mombasa Docks|docks]] situated at [[Wikipedia:Kilindini Harbour|Kilindini Harbor]] southwest of the area.<ref name="halo2">''Halo 2'', campaign level [[Metropolis]]</ref><ref name="evo">''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe'', Palace Hotel</ref>

Unlike the southeastern side of the island which housed sleek, gleaming corporate skyscrapers, the industrial zone was home to rugged industrial complexes of a more utilitarian design.<ref name="halo2"/> The [[Kilindini Underpass]] of the highway [[New Mombasa 105 East|NM 105 E]], beginning at the northwestern end of Mombasa's suspension bridge, resurfaced in the middle of the industrial area.<ref name="evo"/> The district was split in half by the [[Shimanzi Road]].<ref name="evo"/>

During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], the industrial zone saw heavy fighting between the UNSC and the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ground forces deployed by the ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' holding position over the city. Several UNSC units had been assigned to defend the area in the past weeks, including [[UNSC Army]] personnel and [[E2-BAG/1/7]] of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]].<ref name="evo" /> After successfully crossing the bridge, UNSC Marine forces led by [[John-117]] pushed on through fortified Covenant positions in the Kilindini Underpass.<ref name="halo2"/> Making their way through a portion of the city's sewer system, they resurfaced near the [[Kilindini Park Cultural Center]] and used [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthogs]] to push their way through the park, [[Mwatate Street Transit Center]] and Shimanzi Road to a UNSC outpost in the [[Palace Hotel]].<ref name="evo"/> After eliminating Covenant heavy armor in the area, John-117 eventually reached a Marine command post in a [[Mtangulizi Kampuni]] building at the heart of the industrial center, just as a Covenant [[Type-47A Scarab|Scarab]] arrived. The walker made its way over the building, into a network of canals on the other side. Eventually, the Scarab became trapped in the canals and was destroyed by John-117.<ref name="halo2"/>
