Macapá

Macapa, located in the northern region of Brazil, South America became one of many mega cities of Earth in the turn of the 23rd century. It came to host a Space Elevator due to its central location along the equator and surrounding bodies of water allowed to decreased risks during construction and operation of the tether thereafter.

=== Human Covenant War ===
Macapa was an invasion site for the Covenant during the Battle for Earth in 2552 and resulted in the cities destruction climaxing the South American Campaign. Following the collapse of the cities space tether due to Covenant forces the UNSC forces and specifically ODST Ethereal Squad were able to lure covenant forces into the city center and escape via the cities underground tram network while UNSC Sirens Bane was ordered to nuke the cities center. The resulting destruction claimed what remained of the city along with dozens of Covenant warships and thousands of enemy troops within the city.
