====Locations=== | |||
===URNA formed=== | |||
By the 26th-century, the [[Wikipedia:Washington (state)|Washington state]] had ceased to exist as a political entity.<ref name="Catalog">[[Catalog/Archive/2014]]</ref> Around the early 2540s, [[New Phoenix]] was the fourth most populated city, behind [[Chicago]] in third, [[wikipedia:Los Angeles|Los Angeles]] in second, and [[New York City]] in first.<ref>''[[Halo: Escalation]]'', [[Halo: Escalation Issue 7|Issue #7]]</ref> | |||
===Covenant Invasion=== | |||
{{Main|Battle of Cleveland|URNA Southwest Campaign}} | |||
At least one engagement of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[Battle of Cleveland]], was fought in North America; during the battle, many citizens of the metropolitan city attempted to flee north in boats from the invading [[Covenant]] forces to Canada. While the city suffered minimal damage from hostile and friendly fire, many citizens were killed by the genocidal Covenant. During the battle, the UNSC established a relief camp in the nearby city of [[Wikipedia:Akron, Ohio|Akron]].<ref>''[[Halo: Uprising]]'', [[Halo: Uprising Issue 4|Issue #4]]</ref> During the final stages of the [[Battle of Earth]], Covenant forces retreated to North America while the [[Prophet of Truth]] fled to [[Installation 00]], with at least one [[Jiralhanae]] expedition deploying to Arizona to locate and activate a Forerunner artifact. This effort was foiled by elements of the [[UNSC Home Fleet]]. | |||
===The New Phoenix Incident=== | |||
In [[2557#July|July 24, 2557]], the city of [[New Phoenix]] was attacked by the [[Forerunner]] known as [[Ur-Didact|the Didact]]. Using a device called the [[Composer]], the Didact [[Mind transfer|extracted]] the mental patterns of over 7 million people.<ref>''[[Halo: Escalation]]'', Issue #7</ref> [[Master Chief Petty Officer|MCPO]] [[John-117]] stopped him using a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon#Mark 2556 MFDD|HAVOK nuke]], destroying the Composer and the Didact's [[Mantle's Approach|flagship]],{{Ref/Game|Game=[[Halo 4]]|Level=[[Midnight]]}} although some of the consciousnesses of the composed New Phoenix residents were transferred back to [[Requiem]] and converted into new [[Promethean Knight]]s.<ref>''[[Spartan Ops]]'', [[Memento Mori]]</ref> | |||
