| | Elysium City was the city in which [[Master Chief|John-117]] grew up, before he was chosen for the [[Spartan-II]] project and replaced with a [[Flash-Cloning|flash-clone]]. John originally attended school at [[Elysium City Primary Education Facility Number 119|Elysium City Primary Education Facility No. 119]], where he met [[Dr. Halsey]] and [[Jacob Keyes]] in [[2517]]<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''</ref>. The school had a substantial playground, including [[Gravball]] courts, and a grassy hill were John-117 played [http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/King_of_the_Hill King of the Hill]. |
| In [[2513]], [[M-EDF 9/21/1]], commanded by [[Lieutenant Colonel]] [[Ponder]], had an operation in Elysium City. M-EDF 9/21/1 was ordered by [[UNSC Fleet Command|FLEETCOM]] to neutralize the second-in-command to the Insurrectionist leader, [[Colonel]] [[Robert Watts]]. Against FLEETCOM's insistence on a show of force, Ponder attempted to personally speak to family members of the second-in-command, when a M-EDF 9/21/1 sharpshooter took a hasty shot, completely collapsing the situation.<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', page 111</ref>

| In 2525, an insurrectionist attack on a nightclub resulted in the deaths of a number of innocent civilians as well as one [[Colonial Military Authority]] pilot, sending another into a coma. The resulting investigation into poor management and guarding of military equipment on the CMA's part would be one of the causes of the organization's downfall.<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe|Halo: Evolutions]]'', [[Dirt]]</ref>
| | ==Legacy== |
| | What happened to Elysium City, and to Eridanus II itself, during the [[Human-Covenant War]] is unknown, though it probably was [[Glassing|glassed]] like most [[UNSC]] colonies. |

|
| Elysium City, along with the rest of Eridanus II, was [[Glassing|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]] in [[2530]].<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', page 240</ref>
| | ==Name== |
| | | Very little is known about the city itself, or John's past in the city, but Elysium has strong links with the trends of the Halo series, especially through its name. "Elysium" was a Latinization of the Greek word "Elysion," which meant paradise. In Greek mythology, the Elysium Fields were a series of areas where the virtuous dead could exist in happiness. |
| By 2557, the city had been rebuilt to a certain amount, as [[Nova Austin Station]] offered flights to the city from [[Mindoro]].
