| ===Insurrection===
| |
| Around [[2524]], the city became a hotspot for refugees fleeing from [[Eridanus II]].<ref>''Hunt the Truth''</ref>

| ===Covenant attack===
| |
| Pirth City was one of several cities attacked by the [[Covenant]] during the [[Battle for Arcadia]] in [[2531]]. During the battle, the city's location was quickly discerned by the Covenant, who in turn focused a significant amount of their local resources in an effort to raze the city.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

| | |
| Pirth City was abandoned when Arcadia's inhabitants scattered, either fleeing the planet for other colonies or retreating to the last major bastion of civilization on the planet: the lawless community of [[Abaskun]]. It was abandoned, and eventually became overgrown as a jungle encroached upon the once bustling metropolis. It was most likely [[Glassing|glassed]] with the rest of the planet when the Covenant [[Fall of Arcadia|returned]].<ref>''[[Halo Wars]]'', [[Halo Wars Timeline Events|Timeline Events]]</ref>
