The population of Côte D'Azur was estimated to be 300,000, nearly all of whom were killed during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]]. | |

The main sections on the latter interior of Côte d'Azur were the wharf and bay areas, the residential section, the downtown, and the docks. Côte d'Azur had a sewer system under the city. The sewer systems had steel pipes running along the top of the plastic conduits. The sewer systems had a two meter diameter pipe, with a steel grate,<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 182</ref> on the beach side near the edge of the city. The inhabitants used sodium vapor lamps, which washed everything above with an eerie glow. | |

| ==History==
| | In the year [[2552]], the [[Covenant]] launched a small attack against the Sigma Octanus system in hopes to retrieve a [[Forerunner]] artifact that was on display in a museum on Sigma Octanus IV's surface. During the invasion, Côte d'Azur was destroyed when [[Spartan-117]] detonated a [[HAVOK Nuclear Warhead]] underneath the city streets in order to prevent the Covenant from finding anything else of value. The planet still remains under [[Human]] control. The population of Côte D'Azur was estimated to be 300,000, however 20 civilians hid in a cargo ship that were eventually evacuated by the Spartans.[[Battle of Sigma Octanus|during the battle]]. |
| In the year [[2552]], the [[Covenant]] launched a small [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV|attack]] against the Sigma Octanus system in hopes to retrieve a [[Forerunner]] [[Sigma Octanus IV artifact|artifact]] that was on display at the [[Côte d'Azur Museum of Natural History]] on Sigma Octanus IV's surface. When the Covenant invaded Côte d'Azur, they killed the entire population, save for twenty civilians (some of whom were wounded) who hid in a cargo ship. It is assumed that these twenty are the only to have survived. | |

| The Covenant were in the process of securing the artifact and relaying messages to the ships above when the [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]] entered the city. Blue Team managed to retrieve the artifact, save the remaining civilians, and escape back to their [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] Dropship. Upon entering the Pelican and exiting the atmosphere, [[John-117]] detonated a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]] underneath the city streets, which destroyed the city and prevented the Covenant from finding anything else of value. Sigma Octanus IV and the remnants of Côte d'Azur still remain under human control.
