The Story of Darkwater

Darkwater was constructed by a deranged cult called the "Sins of Sanguine". It was used as sanctuary to discreetly practice their pagan rituals that often involved human sacrifices. The cult eventually met a vicious end when UNSC salvagers stumbled across the city. The cultists did not take kindly to this encounter and attacked the salvagers killing a handful of them. However, the more combat experienced soldiers were better equipped and quickly put down the cultist uprising.
A few decades passed and the city lay relatively abandoned, although it was occasionally inhabited by small bands smugglers, pirates, and terrorists.
Ironically, the UNSC had been monitoring the illegal activity in the region and once again unearthed the lost city of Darkwater. However, this time the city's inhabitants were prepared and better equipped for the confrontation. Strategically using the houses as cover, the smugglers brought heavy casualties to UNSC forces before being overwhelmed by the UNSC's greater numbers.
The UNSC looked back on the incident closely to see where the operation had failed. Ultimately, they decided to use the city itself as an urban training ground for tactical combat. It's location remains top secret and it is rumored that is still used to this day.
