On [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], the [[Covenant]] [[Battle of Earth|invaded Earth]]. During the orbital battle, the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s flagship, ''[[Solemn Penance]]'', slipped past Earth's [[Orbital defense platform|defense grid]] and descended near the surface, and started deploying troops in both New and Old Mombasa. During [[Battle of Mombasa|the battle]], three [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] dropships, one with [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]] on board, were deployed to the city with the mission to capture the Prophet of Regret. On their way to New Mombasa, all of the Pelicans were shot down by a Covenant [[Protos-pattern Scarab|Scarab]], and crash-landed in Old Mombasa Sector 0-5. Throughout the rest of the mission, the Chief, accompanied by [[Avery Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]] and a number of [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]], fought their way through the slums of the old city, to the [[Hotel Zanzibar]], out onto the beaches, and finally to the underground [[New Mombasa 105 East|highway system]] that connects the city to [[New Mombasa]].<ref name="outskirts">''[[Halo 2]]'', campaign level [[Outskirts (Level)|Outskirts]]</ref>
