During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], the industrial zone saw heavy fighting between the UNSC and the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ground forces deployed by the ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' holding position over the city. Several UNSC units had been assigned to defend the area in the past weeks, including [[UNSC Army]] personnel and [[E2-BAG/1/7]] of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Palace Hotel", ''page 367''</ref> After successfully crossing the bridge, UNSC Marine forces led by [[John-117]] pushed on through fortified Covenant positions in the Kilindini Underpass.<ref name="halo2"/> Making their way through a portion of the city's sewer system, they resurfaced near the [[Kilindini Park Cultural Center]] and used [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthogs]] to push their way through the park, [[Mwatate Street Transit Center]] and Shimanzi Road to a UNSC outpost in the [[Palace Hotel]].<ref name="evo"/> After eliminating Covenant heavy armor in the area, John-117 eventually reached a Marine command post in a [[Mtangulizi Kampuni]] building at the heart of the industrial center, just as a Covenant [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab]] arrived. The walker made its way over the building, into a network of canals on the other side. Eventually, the Scarab became trapped in the canals and was destroyed by John-117.<ref name="halo2"/> | |||
