New Alexandria Starport: Difference between revisions

{{Era|HCW}}

The '''New Alexandria Starport''' was a [[spaceport]] in [[New Alexandria]] on the planet [[Reach]].<ref name="exo">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Exodus (level)|Exodus]]''</ref>

During the [[Fall of Reach]], the starport came under attack by [[Covenant]] forces. During the [[Siege of New Alexandria]], an {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} took position over the starport and began to bombard nearby buildings, including the [[Traxus Tower]]. Later in the siege, [[Duvall|Sergeant Major Duvall]] requested immediate airstrike on the corvette from {{UNSCShip|Stalwart Dawn}} to allow multiple [[Unnamed civilian transport craft|civilian transports]] flee from the planet. Despite orders to not leave the starport, [[6 Echo 2]]—one of the civilian transports launching from the starport—took off but was destroyed by the corvette over the city. Thanks to the efforts of one [[SPARTAN-B312|SPARTAN-III commando]], two [[M95 Lance]] missile batteries were activated to cripple the corvette, allowing the remaining three transports to successfully evacuated ferrying thousands of survivors off of Reach.<ref name="exo"/>
