The Visegrad comm relay.

Visegrad was a town in the Viery Territory[note 1] on the human colony world of Reach. The region was remote and mostly agricultural, and home to several small self-sufficient farming communities. Located 50 kilometers from the town was one of the communication relay outposts responsible for the planet's communications.[1][2][3]

History

The settlements in the region were known as kivas. Some of the settlers had lived in Visegrad for three generations. In 2552, two of Visegrad's inhabitants commented that Visegrad was "dying" and that the only choice was to move to the metropolitan city of Manassas.[4]

On July 23, 2552, a small Covenant force landed on Visegrad and disabled the communications relay. In response, several teams of UNSC Army troopers were deployed to investigate the suspected insurrectionist activity, but after contact with them was lost, Noble Team was assigned to the task.[2] In the dawn of the next day, Noble Team traveled to the relay and soon found out the source of the disturbance, engaging the Covenant forces on the spot. They were extracted soon after, and the planetary emergency directive WINTER CONTINGENCY was declared.[3]

Trivia

  • "Visegrad" is a name of Slavic origin meaning "the upper castle" or "the upper settlement/town/fortification", and the name of several towns in eastern Europe.

Notes

  1. ^ The planetary map of Reach that comes with the Halo: Reach Limited Edition has "VIS" marked in the central mountain range of the Viery Territory. Judging by how Sword Base's location is marked a similar callout "SWO" and Castle Base as "CAS", this places Visegrad in the Viery Territory.
