History[edit]
In 2513, M-EDF 9/21/1, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Ponder, had an operation in Elysium City. M-EDF 9/21/1 was ordered by FLEETCOM to neutralize the second-in-command to the Insurrectionist leader, Colonel Robert Watts.

Elysium City was also the city in which John-117 grew up, before he was chosen for the Spartan-II project and replaced with a flash clone.

The school had a substantial playground, including Gravball courts, and a grassy hill were John-117 played King of the Hill.[2]
In 2525, an insurrectionist attack on a nightclub resulted in the deaths of a number of innocent civilians as well as one Colonial Military Authority pilot, sending another into a coma. The resulting investigation into poor management and guarding of military equipment on the CMA's part would be one of the causes of the organization's downfall.[3]
