*There is a discrepancy over the timing of the battle in ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'': Chapter 19 begins at 0600 hours while Chapter 20 begins at 1800, yet there seems to be no significant lapse of time between them. Chapter 22 Begins at 2010 | *There is a discrepancy over the timing of the battle in ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'': Chapter 19 begins at 0600 hours while Chapter 20 begins at 1800, yet there seems to be no significant lapse of time between them. Chapter 22 Begins at 2010 Hours and Chapter 23 begins at 0500 hours. Despite this, all four chapters are stated to occur on July 17. This may have been a typographical error, with Chapter 23 meant to be on July 18 or, perhaps, to serve as a flashback of sorts. Chapter 19 clearly begins much later than 0600, since the marines were deployed at 0600; even if their bases were set up almost instantly, they still took "a couple hours" to get from the firebase to grid 13x24. | ||
*Page 156 of ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' states that ''Cradle'' was over a square kilometer and that three destroyers could be eclipsed by its shadow. Exactly how it could cover the entire UNSC fleet present is not made clear. The UNSC ships may have positioned themselves behind the ''Cradle'' in a specific formation for maximum protection. It is also possible that repair and refit stations are larger than one square kilometer, as stated in the novel. | *Page 156 of ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' states that ''Cradle'' was over a square kilometer and that three destroyers could be eclipsed by its shadow.

*Early copies of the first edition of ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' state that the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV and the Fall of Reach both occurred in 2542. However, this was soon confirmed to be a typographical error and fixed in later copies. However, as the 2010 re-issue used an older copy as basis, several errors, this included, were re-entered into circulation. This error was again fixed in the ''Definitive Edition'' released in 2011. | *Early copies of the first edition of ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' state that the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV and the Fall of Reach both occurred in 2542.
