New Alexandria

New Alexandria was a metropolitan city located at Eposz on the human colony world of Reach.

Siege of Alexandria
The city first came under attack by the Covenant during the Fall of Reach on August 18, 2552. In the daylight hours of August 23, during the Evacuation of New Alexandria, the city was defended by the UNSC Army, ODSTs, and SPARTAN-B312.

During the night hours of August 23, the units 4 Charlie 27, 7 Delta 19 along with another unit were tasked with destroying Covenant Communications Jammers throughout the city. After Noble Six's assistance, civilian transports successfully evacuated the city.

Most of the city was ultimately glassed by the Covenant.

Post War Era
In 2610, the city had been resettled to a degree and a memorial to Noble Team was built in Hősök tere.

Government
The main body of governance is the New Alexandria City Council. Not much is known about their specific powers as council.

Transit
The main form of transit in New Alexandria is walking as there are huge amounts of pedestrian infrastructure built for it, such as the Concourses. There is also a MagLev system that wraps around the city. So far, no roads have been seen in the city. Aquatic transportation is, in some form, prominent in the city (at least for goods) as there are docks at the base of the Traxus Tower.

Three space elevators were located near the city.[6] Aerospace travel seemed to be a regular form of transportation as Club Errera had landing pads.

Waste Management
Trash in New Alexandria is handled by an organization with the initials "NAWE".

Architecture
The general terrain of New Alexandria decided how it's architecture was formed. It forced the general design to be focused more on flowing structures. Many lower storied buildings face's slanted upwards along the hill that it was usually built onto. This seems to influence the logo for the city.

Many plazas that were built onto buildings had many benches and planters and trees. Some roofs had entire greenspaces on them. Skyscrapers soared up and around the city, creating a very large skyline.

The most common two colours applied to most buildings are grayish/white and blackish/blue. Blackish/blue was the main colour of the glass that appears on almost all of the buildings in the city. The grayish/white applies to the metal used for the buildings and structures.
