In addition, the relay had a "level-5 communication package" installed before the onset of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Later, the relay station was used as a base of operations by [[Laszlo Sorvad|Professor Laszlo Sorvad]], who led the [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] research of [[Forerunner]] artifacts recovered from a meteorite that had been found near Visegrád.<ref>'''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]'''</ref> | ||

On the night before [[2552#July|July 24, 2552]], a small [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] force landed in Visegrád and disabled the communications relay. In response, [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland]] sent teams of [[UNSC Army|Army]] troopers to investigate the source of the disturbance. After contact with the teams was lost and they were declared [[Missing in action|MIA]], the Office of Naval Intelligence theorized that the local insurrectionists may have sabotaged the relay. While ONI deemed the use of [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTANs]] in the mission a misallocation of resources, Colonel Holland sent [[Noble Team]] to find out what happened to the teams, and to get the relay back online.<ref>'''[[Remember Reach]]''', ''[[Patrol]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Noble Actual]]''</ref> | |||
