Kikowani Station was a train station located in the Kikowani district of New Mombasa, Kenya, and a part of the New Mombasa Transit Authority MagLev Train network in the city. Accessible from Sector 0 of the city, the station was in close proximity of the city's sea wall, with the train tunnels well below sea level. The station platforms however, were situated almost on the city's street level.
History
Early during the Covenant invasion on the city in the Battle of Earth, seven Huragok managed to escape their Jiralhanae handlers in Kikowani. Six of them attempted to remove an explosive device from the seventh, they accidentally triggered the device and all but the seventh Huragok were killed. Later multiple riots were taking place at this location.[1]
Later during the battle, the station's surroundings, including the train tunnels, were flooded by water, most likely due to the seawall breaking. This prevented a squad of ODSTs from escaping the city through the train tunnels leading to Old Mombasa, so they had to make their way through the Covenant-occupied area by air.[2]
