| '''Kikowani Station''' is an [[New Mombasa Transit Authority|NMTA]] [[Maglev train|Maglev]] train station part of the [[New Mombasa MagLev train network]]. It was located in the [[New Mombasa city center|city center]] of [[New Mombasa]], [[Kenya]].{{Ref/Game|Id=circle1arc1|H3ODST|[[Audio log (Halo 3: ODST)|Audio Log]] - [[Sadie's Story]], Circle 1, Arc 1}} The station could be accessed from [[New Mombasa Sector 0|Sector 0]] at street level.{{Ref/Level|Id=streetslevel|H3ODST|Mombasa Streets}} | | [[File:Sector_0_Kikowani_station.jpg|thumb|The entrance to Kikowani Station.]] |
| | '''Kikowani Station''' was a train station located in the [[Kikowani|Kikowani district]] of [[New Mombasa]], [[Kenya]], and a part of the [[New Mombasa Transit Authority]] [[MagLev Train]] network in the city. Accessible from [[New Mombasa Sector 0|Sector 0]] of the city, the station was in close proximity of the city's sea wall, with the train tunnels well below sea level. The station platforms however, were situated almost on the city's street level. |

| On October 20, 2552, [[Sadie Endesha]] purchased a train ticket at Kikowani Station bound for [[Old Mombasa]]. She boarded train 14 and then departed.{{Ref/Reuse|circle1arc1}}
| | Early during the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Battle of Mombasa|invasion on the city]] in the [[Battle of Earth]], a riot was taking place at this location.<ref>''[[Sadie's Story]]''</ref> |
|
| |
|
| Early during the [[Covenant]] [[Battle of Mombasa|invasion of the city]] in the [[Battle for Earth]], seven [[Huragok]] managed to escape their [[Jiralhanae]] handlers in Kikowani. Six of them attempted to remove an explosive device from the seventh Huragok, [[Quick to Adjust]],{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|Audio Log - Sadie's Story, Circle 6, Arc 2}} they accidentally triggered the device. All but the seventh Huragok were killed.{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|Audio Log - Sadie's Story, Circle 6, Arc 3}}
| | Later during the battle, the station's surroundings, including the train tunnels, were flooded by water, most likely due to the seawall breaking. This prevented [[Unnamed Shock Trooper Squad|a squad]] of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] from escaping the city through the train tunnels leading to [[Old Mombasa]], so they had to make their way through the Covenant-occupied area by air.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'''</ref> |

| Commissioner [[Kinsler]] had a private train parked at Platform 9, waiting for Sadie Endesha. A crowd formed on the platforms, trying to board the train, as the Covenant bombarded the station.{{Ref/Game|Id=circle9|H3ODST|Audio Log - Sadie's Story, Circle 9, Arc 2}} With the help of the Quick to Adjust and [[Vergil]], the crowd boarded the train and killed Kinsler{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|Sadie's Story, Circle 9, Arc 5}}. Then, with Sadie and [[Mike Branley]], the civilians departed for Old Mombasa.{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|Sadie's Story, Circle 9, Arc 6}}

| By the evening, the station's surroundings, including the train tunnels, were flooded by water. This prevented the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] squad [[Alpha-Nine]] from escaping the city through the train tunnels. Instead, the squad stole a Covenant [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] that landed in the station and used it to fly to safety.{{Ref/Level|Id=kikowani|H3ODST|Kikowani Station}} An hour later, Alpha-Nine's missing squadmate [[Jonathan Doherty]] arrived at the entrance of Kikowani Station and found the [[biofoam]] canister that had been used to treat [[Kojo Agu|Romeo]]'s injuries before moving on.{{Ref/Reuse|streetslevel}}
