C̶i̶t̶y̶ ̶F̶i̶f̶t̶y̶ ̶O̶n̶e̶ - "UNSPECIFIED" City

City Fifty One... one of the first of the Combines failures in running a City. This City came as an example to the Combine to never ever create City sectors with a extremely large populace, otherwise, resistance will be extremely high.

After the Seven Hour War, Bejing was turned into one of the biggest Urban centers to contain the massive amount of people from both India and China, both equally large countries with a very high amount of population.

What the Combine had thought this would be an easy task of enslavement and forcing the citizens to work in the wonderful City the Union created for them, turned out to be much more difficult. The large amount of people meant information and rumors spread at extremely fast rates, too fast for even the local protection force to control due to its early stages of development and growth.

Because of this, the population was quickly able to create their own resistance groups, all allied up and joined arms to take down the local protection and Overwatch teams. But it was not a quick attack.

Instead, the groups decided to wait it out and allow the Combine to lower their guard, pretending to be good working class citizens and obey the Combines every word. In the eyes of the Combine, it worked flawlessly. The Union misinterpreted the citizens had accepted their existence and rule and were about to have full-control.

Of course, they were dead wrong. The groups saw their opportunity and took it, all of them got together and rushed the guards of the Nexus, causing its defenses to almost instantly collapse.

Shortly after, gunships and dropships rolled into the battle, dropping off a large amount of Overwatch troops and Strider legions. The battle become bloody as Airwatch and the Nomads mowed down the rebellious population.

Help soon came in the form of a military force calling themselves ESIC who used heavy ammunition to take down the Airwatch units and clear the skies before moving onto the Striders.

The city was a mess, panicking citizens were running in all sorts of random directions, unsure of where to go. However, soon after they stopped as ESIC and the remaining rebels took down the Nexus and erased the local garrison.

Many causalities were incurred on both sides, but the citizens of the City went back with ESIC and joined up, fully forming ESIC as a whole like it is today. The City was left behind in ruins, nothing was left... not even the industrial zone survived.
