"Tension about Suraka boiling over. They've always been sensitive about a human city getting resettled just on the other side of the sand."

— Paul des Hommes speculates concerning the source of recent hostility from Sangheili on Carrow.

Suraka is the human capital of Carrow, a former human Outer Colony and currently a planet in the Joint Occupation Zone. The city was abandoned during the height of the Human-Covenant War and was the center of the Carrow Conflict fought by human, Sangheili, and Jiralhanae forces in September of 2558.

Overview

Suraka is a major urban area with a population of around one million people. The city contains a number of large skyscrapers to the point that it has a distinct skyline. It is divided into at least thirty-one sectors, with Sector 24 containing agricultural infrastructure and Sector 31 being located at the most northeastern limits of the city. Suraka contained a substantial residential district that was most likely in the southeast portion of the city. It also contains a financial district with its own stock exchange located in the Wulandari Building. There are various industrial and commercial businesses operating in Suraka, including Rughet Factories and Finlay Ice Creams. As of the end of the Carrow Conflict, the surface of the city has been devastated by the fighting. The residential district was entirely destroyed during the fighting after being |glassed and bulldozed by the Voice of Maardoth forces and getting caught in a nuclear explosion during the final stage of the conflict. The rest of the city also suffered significant damage from the Voice of Maardoth and Sharquoi attacks. The extent to which the city has been able to rebuild in the years since the conflict remains unknown.

Build beneath Suraka were a vast network of bunkers and tunnels that the Surakan government and the Surakan Militia Volunteers intended to use to shield themselves and civilians from a large scale attack. This network consisted of a central command bunker located underneath the Wulandari Building and various smaller bunkers that were located around the city. These nodes in the system were connected and supplemented by a series of tunnels, armories, and fortified basements. . These bunkers were well equipped, as the central bunker boasted a substantial militia presence as well as a command center that was connected to a substantial number of and satellites. These bunkers were also well furnished, containing multiple offices and conference rooms that were primarily used by the Surakan heads of state and military commanders. This complex was powered by a HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon that had been partially deconstructed and utilized as a nuclear reactor. As with the surface, a majority of these tunnels and bunkers were severely damaged or destroyed due to the Sharquoi attack.

Also lying beneath Suraka was an ancient Forerunner facility known as a Sharquoi hive. This was destroyed at the end of the Carrow Conflict with the detonation of a Havok nuclear warhead.
