Summary
Elysium City is located on the planet Eridanus II and was the city in which John-117 grew up, before he was chosen for the Spartan-II project and replaced with a flash-clone. John originally attended school at Elysium City Primary Education Facility No. 119, where he met Dr. Halsey and Jacob Keyes. The school had a substantial playground, including Gravball courts, and a grassy hill were John-117 played King of the Hill.
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. Against FLEETCOM's insistence on a show of force, Ponder attempted to personally speak to family members of the second-in-command, when a M-EDF 9/21/1 sharpshooter took a hasty shot, completely collapsing the situation.[1]
Name
Very little is known about the city itself, or John's past in the city, but Elysium has strong links with the trends of the Halo series, especially through its name. "Elysium" was a Latinization of the Greek word "Elysion," which meant paradise. In Greek mythology, the Elysium Fields were a series of areas where the virtuous dead could exist in happiness.
