Sector 5

Sector 5 is a location in Final Fantasy VII. It is found in Midgar, and thus is under the control of the Shinra Company.

Storyline
Sector 5 is the adopted hometown of Aerith Gainsborough, and it was where she spent most of her life under the care of her adoptive mother, Elmyra Gainsborough. During this time, she somehow managed to avoid capture from the Turks, working to capture Aerith for her Ancient abilities. Aerith spent most of her time at the Sector 5 Church. Her ability to grow flowers in the inhospitable climate of the Midgar Slums became an inspiration for all of its citizens. It also was a place where fate often dealt Aerith strange hands. Both of her loves, Zack Fair and Cloud Strife, would fall through the church roof and into her life.

Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-
In Episode 11 of Before Crisis, the player's Turk actually protects Aerith from kidnapping from the evil terrorist group called AVALANCHE in what they called "Operation Laura". The AVALANCHE commanders, Sears and Fuhito are caught by surprise by the Turk's appears, since no their intelligence stated that no Turk had been dispatched. The player Turk actually stumbled upon the AVALANCHE attack completely by accident. Sears defeats the Turk, and captures the player and Aerith. Aerith is brought to the AVALANCHE leader, Elfé, and is told to reveal the location of the Promised Land, so that it cannot land in Shinra hands. The Turk breaks in and fights the AVALANCHE leaders, but seems beaten. He or she is saved when Elfé collapses, forcing AVALANCHE to retreat.

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-
Zack Fair fell through, after being defeated by Angeal Hewley up in the Sector 5 Reactor. He fell the 150 meter drop down into the slums, but the flowers of the Church saved his life. He thanked Aerith by giving the compensation of one date. While Zack and Aerith are out, his wallet is stolen by a small boy in the marketplace. After wandering around asking less than helpful citizens for help, Zack finally got it back. The boy's wallet had been eaten by a group of monsters in the park, so Zack defeated them. Aerith and Zack then went to the playground where they discussed the unnatural abilities of SOLDIER. Their date was cut short when Zack received a call from his superior, Sephiroth, telling him to return to Headquarters immediately.

Final Fantasy VII
Five years later, after Zack had disappeared from Aeris's life, Cloud would fall into the church in similar circumstances. Aeris offers Cloud to be her bodyguard in exchange for a date, like Zack's offer so many years ago. He helped Aeris escape from the Turk Reno and back to her step-mother's house. There he heard the tale of how Elmyra's husband died in the war with Wutai and how she was given the infant Aeris from the child's dying mother, Ifalna. Cloud spends the night at the house, but leaves at Elmyra's urging. He tries to sneak away, but Aeris follows.

Later on, after the destruction of Sector 7, Cloud, along with Barret Wallace and Tifa Lockhart use Aeris' house as a temporary base to plan their next move. Barret's daughter Marlene is kept there for a time, until she is later moved to Kalm. Sector 5 can be revisited later in the game after finding the Sector 5 Key in Bone Village to return to Midgar.

The town was largely destroyed along with the rest of Midgar by the fall of Meteor.
