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]]. | |||
