Noroa was one of the South Islands and part of the New Fortitude Territory. It was four hundred kilometers away from the island of Galangi,[1] and had a military airport.[2]
History[]
Locust War[]
Six months after Emergence Day,[3] the island of Kaia came under assault by the Locust. The island was lost, and any survivors that could escape fled to Noroa. Months later, Sgt. Bernadette Mataki, after learning that Gears that survived Kaia had made it to Noroa, moved there from Galangi to help defend the island.[4] She and the Gears protected Noroa from Locust attacks, but after eight years, the island's population had been reduced to less than twenty people living in a hidden camp in the eastern cliffs. A choice was eventually made to abandon the island and take the survivors to Galangi, the only South Island that was safe from Locust tunneling. While the others went to Galangi, Mataki headed to Ephyra to reunite with the COG.[5]
