Grid Kilo 23: Difference between revisions

It consisted of a broad highway, and during the [[Battle of New Mombasa]], a [[Covenant]] [[Scarab]] was defending this grid sector, along with great numbers of other Covenant forces. A [[UNSC]] strike force of four [[Warthog]]s and three [[Pelican Dropship]]s were dispatched over Grid Kilo 23 to attack the Covenant [[Assault Carrier]] that was commanding the Covenant forces in the [[Battle of Earth]] (where the Battle of [[New Mombasa]] had originated from).

[[Marine]] reconnaissance observing the grid sector noted the high Covenant troop concentrations, but failed to see a nearby Scarab battle walker, which was behind a building. As the three Pelicans neared the Scarab, unaware of its presence, the Scarab shot two of them down with its plasma weapons.

There were several survivors at each crash site, though in both cases the pilots perished in the crash. One of them consisted of [[SPARTAN-117]], [[Sergeant]] [[Avery J. Johnson]], and three anonymous Marines, two with [[Battle Rifle]]s and one with an [[SMG]]. The second was carrying a squad of [[ODST]]s and crashed landed in a beach behind [[Hotel Zanzibar]]. The last one escaped the Scarab without being hit, it later picked up Johnson. <ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[Outskirts (Level)|Outskirts]]''</ref>

It is interesting to note that there is a Pelican Dropship with the designation of [[Kilo 023]].
