=== | ===Pre-formation=== | ||
[[ | {{Main|United States of America}} | ||
{{Expand-section}} | |||
===URNA formed=== | |||
By the 26th-century, [[Wikipedia:Washington (state)|Washington state]] had ceased to exist as a political entity.<ref name="Catalog">[[Catalog/Archive/2014]]</ref> However, the [[Kentucky|Commonwealth of Kentucky]] had been absorbed into the URNA.<ref name="enc285"/> Around the early 2540s, [[New Phoenix]] was the fourth most populated city, behind [[Chicago]] in third, [[Los Angeles]] in second, and [[New York City]] in first.{{Ref/Comic|Id=esc7|[[Halo: Escalation]]|Issue=[[Halo: Escalation Issue 7|#7]]}} | |||
===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/Comic|[[Halo: Uprising]]|Issue=[[Halo: Uprising Issue 4|#4]]}} 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/Reuse|esc7}} [[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/Level|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> | |||
