Visegrád Relay: Difference between revisions

The Visegrád Relay, along with the rest of Reach's communications network, had been hardened to withstand internal and external sabotage after [[insurrectionist]]s infiltrated the planet before [[Operation: CLEAN SWEEP]]. 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>

Due to the gravity of the situation and the presence of Covenant forces, Noble Team found it is imperative to proceed to the relay as fast as possible. As Noble Team arrived at the facility, it was under siege by Covenant forces. After successfully taking control of the facility, Noble Team managed to recover two survivors from the previous Covenant attack.<ref name="winter"/> The data obtained from the consoles were later transported to [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Halsey]] at ONI [[Sword Base]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[ONI: Sword Base]]''</ref>
