==History== | |||
===Ancient history=== | |||
There are structures in Nuusra that were built thousands of years before the [[Sangheili]] joined the [[Covenant]]. In [[2558]], [[Olympia Vale]] surmised that some of these structures were "ancient history" before the Pyramids were built on [[Earth]].<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', campaign level, ''[[Swords of Sanghelios (level)|Swords of Sanghelios]]''</ref> | |||
===Battle of Nuusra=== | |||
At some point before [[2558|October 27th, 2558]], the remnants of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] arrived in the area, preparing for an imminent attack against the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] who controlled the territory, as well as most of the planet. During the battle, [[Fireteam Osiris|human forces]] raided some of the local ruins on their way to the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]], battling against multiple waves of Covenant forces. Some of the ancient Sangheili ruins were damaged forever, as both warring sides used them as provisional bases for cover. | |||
===Refuge=== | |||
When a [[Guardian]] emerged during the Arbiter's victory at the [[Battle of Sunaion]] nearby, he and his surviving Swords retreated back to Nuusra and established a [[Sangheili hut|makeshift camp]] in its cliffs to hide from the emergent [[Created]] and their Guardian enforcers. It was here they regrouped with other [[Blue Team|surviving]] [[Fireteam Osiris|members]] of the UNSC that were seeking shelter.<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level, ''[[Guardians]]''</ref><ref>''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]''</ref> | |||
==Geography== | |||
Nuusra is mainly composed of arid and desert environments, being much different from the nearby city of [[Sunaion]], which is a city primarily composed of communities built above water surfaces. The territory is almost entirely covered in rocky valleys and canyons. | |||
