| '''Grid Kilo 23''' is a sector of the city of [[Old Mombasa]] on the planet [[Earth]].<ref name="out">''[[Halo 2]]'', campaign level [[Outskirts]]</ref>
| | It consisted of a broad highway, and during the [[Battle of New Mombasa]], a [[Covenant]] [[Scarab]] was defending this grid sector, along with great numbers of other Covenant forces. A UNSC strike force of three [[Warthog]]s and three [[Pelican Dropship]]s were dispatched over Grid Kilo 23 to attack the Covenant ship that was commanding the Covenant forces in the [[First Battle of Earth]] (where the Battle of New Mombasa had originated from). |

| It consisted of a broad highway, and during the [[Battle of Mombasa]], a [[Covenant]] [[Protos-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] was defending this grid sector, along with great numbers of other Covenant forces. A [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] strike force of four [[M12 Chaingun Warthog|Warthogs]] and three [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican Dropships]] were dispatched over Grid Kilo 23 to attack the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s assault carrier, ''[[Solemn Penance]]'', that was commanding the Covenant forces.
| | [[Marine]] reconnaisance observing the grid sector noted the high Covenant troop concentrations, but failed to see the [[Scarab]] battle walker. As the three Pelicans neared the Scarab, unaware of its presence, the Scarab shot all three of them down with its plasma weapons. Only one dropship was able to safely crash-land with five survivors: [[SPARTAN-117]], [[Sergeant]] [[Avery J. Johnson]], and three anonymous [[Marine]]s - two with [[Battle Rifle]]s and one with an [[SMG]]. |
