This article contradicts canon/is unrealistic for the following reasons:

It's unlikely this city would be considered one of the safest on Reach; firstly because I doubt there would be large discrepancies planetwide in terms of police force training, and secondly because the massive military presence on Reach was spread across all populated areas (meaning a UNSC base on its outskirts wouldn't be anything special).

Why would a large urban area be constructed on a series of islands in the year 2498? This would massively complicate the issue of building a city, while also heavily restricting access for no discernible reason. This would also offer little in the way of tactical advantage in case of attack; see below for this. More likely a city would be built on the edge of the lake or in a river valley.

Merely being on a series of island would not have protected the city at all from Covenant attack, let alone for weeks. Regardless of the bridges or their blockades, the Covenant has these neat things called aircraft, meaning they could just launch an attack consisting of Phantoms and Banshees, bypassing the medieval-style defences, attacking the city anyway and carrying large numbers of vehicles and infantry. Failing that, any number of Covenant warships classes could simply float over the city and glass it to hell, which would most probably happen if the city was heavily defended or a ground assault had failed.

The idea that an entire city would escape the Covenant's eventual glassing of Reach is totally nonsensical. And then its survivors all simultaneously become criminals...makes no sense whatsoever.

It doesn't make sense that the Covenant would leave behind any forces on Reach, as there's nothing of value left there. While this is a relatively minor point, them then rebuilding and reforming the city is simply unfathomable. On a glassed, barren and empty world, the Kig-Yar rebuild a destroyed human city, on a world whose location is known to both the UNSC and the Covenant? It makes no sense. Building an underwater city adds to the sheer implausibility of it all.

As per the NCF policy, you have two weeks to rectify these issues to avoid namespacing.
