During the [[Fall of Reach]], three [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II's]], [[John-117]], [[Linda-058]], and [[James-005]] commandeered a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] to Reach Station Gamma. An [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] [[UNSC prowler|prowler]], the ''[[UNSC Circumference|Circumference]]'', docked in the station having failed to delete its NAV database. [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] intrusion software had detected the unsecured database and three [[Covenant frigate]]s were sent to secure the data. Those frigates were destroyed by [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] rounds from the planet's [[orbital defense platform|orbital guns]], as well as firepower from the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, but not before they dispatched [[Sangheili Ranger|Elite]] and [[Kig-yar Ranger|Jackal]] rangers to secure the data.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 308''</ref> Eventually, John-117 was able to destroy the database but Linda-058 was killed (clinically) and James-005 was lost in the vacuum of space after his [[thruster pack]] suffered a malfunction from Covenant weapons-fire. Several [[UNSC Marine Corps|marines]] were on-board the station: [[Sergeant]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]], [[Private]]s [[Wallace A. Jenkins|Jenkins]], [[Bisenti]], and [[O'Brien (Reach)|O'Brien]]. They were evacuated along with the Spartans.

During the battle, the station was severely damaged, with the station ring finally breaking into multiple pieces. However, a few fortified sections remained intact and fully pressurized. Near the end of the battle, a skirmish between a [[UNSC frigate]] and [[Covenant corvette]] took place within the vicinity of the station.<ref name="reach"/>
