| The '''Battle of [[New Mombasa]]''' was a battle between [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Covenant]] forces that took place in the UNSC city [[New Mombasa]] on the planet [[Earth]] on October 20, 2552.
| |
| ==Battle==
| |
| Between 0150 and 01630 hours- The [[Covenant]] start deploying forces in the area, including a [[Scarab]] for heavy armor.
| |
| Three [[Pelican]]s are sent from the [[In Amber Clad]].
| |
| The Pelican carrying [[Sergeant Johnson]] and [[Master Chief]] is shot down by the Scarab and the remaining crew hunker down at an isolated position and wait for extraction.
| |
| [[Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker]] and an [[ODST]] squad, who were onboard the second Pelican, are also shot down. They move up the beach to the [[Hotel Zanzibar]] and set up a command post after killing several Covenant soldiers. They wipe out several [[Covenant]] units along the way.
| |
| | |
| The Chief's group, still awaiting extraction, kills several waves of attacking Covenant forces, including two [[Hunter]]s. Finally, the third Pelican from the flight finds the group and lands reinforcements in a demolished area. Sergeant Johnson is extracted to help organize armored units entering the city.
| |
| Pinned down units in Hotel Zanzibar are rescued by [[Spartan 117]], who makes his way by Warthog towards the bridge. UNSC forces at the bridge are decimated as the Scarab blows through any and all Marine defenders.
| |
| [[Image:Pelican and warthog.jpg|right|thumb|200px|UNSC Forces approaching New Mombasa.]] Spartan 117 arrives at the bridge to assess situation; reinforcments are dropped, including a [[Scorpion]] Main Battle Tank. The Chief travels across the bridge linking Old Mombassa and New Mombassa, destroying the assaulting Covenant forces along the way. The 405th out of [[Diego Garcia]] makes landfall at the city square and are quickly surrounded by Covenant troops.
| |
| The 105th ODST unit, lead by Spartan 117, are called to city square for a last defense. The assault on the city square is major, due to the fact there are multiple [[Wraith]]s and [[Ghost]]s. After fending off the assault, the 405th try the [[Scarab]] by using a [[Scorpion]] MBT against it.

| |
| The [[Scarab]] quickly destroys the Scorpion and climbs over City Square ''into'' the ''Canals''. It trys to find an outlet, rapidly moving through the high-walled waterways.
| |
| | |
| The Chief follows the Scarab along a causeway until the machine reaches a point where it cannot continue. He then jumps onto the Scarab, killing the Covenant forces above- and below-deck. Upon destroying the Scarab, he is extracted by a Pelican and returned to the [[In Amber Clad]].
| |
| The [[Prophet of Regret]]'s Assault Carrier, still above New Mombassa, prepares to jump away from Earth. The Pelican carrying Master Chief enters the [[UNSC Frigate|Frigate]], which follows the Assault Carrier into Slipspace. New Mombassa and all of the beings still within it are vaporized as the Carrier jumps.
