==History==
===Ancient history===
Circa [[97,445 BCE]], the [[Forerunner]]s built [[Portal at Voi|a slipspace portal]] leading to [[Installation 00]] outside of the [[Milky Way]] galaxy, in what would later become Kenya.{{Ref/Level|[[Halo 3]]|[[Floodgate]]}}{{Ref/Level|Halo 3|[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]}} Around the same time, a human elder known as [[N'chala]] and his tribe lived nearby, observing the Portal's construction.<ref>''[[Halo 3: The Cradle of Life]]''</ref>

===Early history===
In the 20th-century, the military base [[Crow's Nest (location)|Crow's Nest]] was constructed in the country.<ref>''[[Halo Mythos: A Guide to the Story of Halo]]'', End of the War, p. 117</ref>

Due to economic stability and location, Mombasa was chosen to host Earth's first space elevator and construction began in [[2302]]. By [[2430]], nearly a 74km radius around the city became known as "[[Old Mombasa]]".{{Ref/Site|Id=bnet|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://www.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Field Guide entry: New Mombasa}}
