Luckily the frigate crashed without detonating its engine, so the city survived but not for long. Between October 2558 and December 2559, Cortana called on Lord Hood to submit to her enforcement of peace across the galaxy. When Hood refused her, she responded by attacking Sydney with a Guardian, resulting in the total destruction of the city.{{Ref/Level|Id=Repository|Hi|[[Repository (Halo Infinite level)|Repository]]}}


The city would in some form survive, as a UNSC copyright was registered in the city circa [[2560]].{{Ref/Map|HINF|[[Streets]]}}
