New Tyne | New Tyne is a small town with a mixed population and is under the de facto governance of the [[Venezian militia]]. Scattered farms and factories are found ten to fifteen kilometers away from the city.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 97''</ref> The town itself has small homes, buildings, and office blocks that are generally similar in appearance. Anti-air batteries are placed on the corners of some of the city's intersections.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page ???''</ref> The south end of New Tyne is home to an old slate quarry and 15 [[Mount Longdon Road]], [[Staffan Sentzke]]'s homestead.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 55''</ref> The quarry was formed during the excavation of sandstone for the city. It was later converted into a cathedral-like hangar whch holds numerous aircrafts for the militia.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 103''</ref> Numerous bars are found throughout the town such as [[Stavros' Middle East Asian Cuisine and Bar]]<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 94''</ref> and [[Tiny Birds]]. The latter is considered the worst dive bar New Tyne has to offer and is tucked a one-story retail mall on its southern outskirts. South of New Tyne, there is a large, uninhabited forest.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 216''</ref> The western side of the town is bordered by a river.
