In [[2552]], Sector B was one of the Covenant's main incursion points during opening stages of the [[Battle of Earth]]. They landed heavy armor, including [[Wraith]] tanks, [[Shadow]] transports, and [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghosts]] with air support from [[Phantom]]s and [[Banshee]]s in the sector. [[UNSC]] [[Marines]] from [[A Company]] were sent to the area as well, but were pinned down until help arrived from the reinforcements provided by the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}, including [[John-117]]. A [[Type-47A Scarab|Scarab]] walker retreated there as well, having traveled down the NM 105 E to the city to get a clear line of sight at the [[Mombasa Tether]].<ref name="Metropolis"/>

==Trivia==
The ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' version of ''[[Metropolis]]'', makes a number of changes to the sector. [[Tterrab Industries]] was replaced with Franchbot Industries, and signs with distances both in and out of the sector have had those distances removed. A [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-clarity-grace Canon Fodder article] states that in most cases, the ''Anniversary'' version should be regarded as canonical, though it has not been specified whether this is one such instance.
