— A slogan used by Vyrant Telecom[1]

Vyrant Telecom is a human telecommunications business.

Overview

Facilities

Vyrant Telecom had a number of skyscrapers in New Mombasa. The most prominent, and easily the tallest skyscraper in the city, is their 2 km megatall in New Mombasa's city center.[2][Note 1]

Much like the building in Mombasa, the Vyrant Telecom Tower in New Alexandria was among the highest buildings in the city.[3]

History

Founding

Vyrant Telecom was founded at some point before August 2552.

Human-Covenant War

Main article: Human-Covenant War

During the Fall of Reach, Covenant forces established a foothold in their skyscraper in New Alexandria. It is likely that skyscraper was lost to Covenant glassing.[3]

When the Covenant attacked Mombasa, Vyrant Telecom's megatall skyscraper in the city took significant damage.[4] The Covenant eventually started glassing the city looking for an ancient artifact. This glassing likely destroyed the skyscraper.[5]

Post-war

In either 2557 or 2558, Vyrant Telecom had multiple advertisements in the city of Pilvros, New Carthage.[6] Vyrant Telecom posted advertisements in New Mombasa circa 2560 after the city had begun being rebuilt following the war.[1]

Trivia

  • Judging by Vyrant's logo and motto, Vyrant might be a parody of the real-world telecommunications company, Verizon.
  • An advertisement for Vyrant Telecom appears on the Halo 4 map Perdition.

Notes

  1. ^ Measurable by using pan-cam coordinates: the height cap is at 615 WU, the building extends a bit over that, and 1WU=~3 meters
