'''''Anchor 9''''' ('''SRRS-01007''') was a [[refit station|service, repair and refit station]] in service with the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]], and one of 18 such stations orbiting the colony world [[Reach]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/ | '''''Anchor 9''''' ('''SRRS-01007'''),<ref name="vis">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 7''</ref> was a [[refit station|service, repair and refit station]] in service with the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]], and one of 18 such stations orbiting the colony world [[Reach]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|vis}}<ref name="Anchor">[http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=29866 '''Bungie.net''': ''Noble Map Pack Quick Looks'']</ref> | ||
== | ==Description== | ||
The station had three main hubs, each with its own [[hangar]] and repair station. One sector of the station was dedicated to the medical rehabilitation of injured soldiers, including a suite for the verbal reconstruction of individuals who had lost their ability to speak.{{Ref/Generic|Id=Unspoken|Heading=[[Become]]|Subheading=[[UNSC Archives]]|Detail=[[Unspoken]]}} Several [[FSS-1000 Sabre]] fighters could be stored and serviced inside. In addition, it had docking ports for larger vessels such as [[cruiser#UNSC|cruiser]]s and [[UNSC frigate|frigates]].{{Ref/Reuse|vis}} The station also was surrounded by a number of [[UNSC construction platform|build-and-repair facilities]], which had several half-built frigates in them.{{Ref/Reuse|lnos}} | |||

The station was used to rehabilitate UNSC personnel who had been injured during the evacuation of [[Harvest]]. On [[2526#January|January 17, 2526]]; [[Chris Preston]], undergoing medical rehabilitation on board ''Anchor 9'', recorded a message for [[David Dominguez]]'s parents recounting his sacrifice in securing [[Kig-Yar point defense gauntlet]]s during the evacuation of [[Harvest]].{{Ref/Reuse|Unspoken}} | The station was used to rehabilitate UNSC personnel who had been injured during the evacuation of [[Harvest]].

The station was in permanent orbit around [[Reach]] and in the later decades of the war was charged with the production of numerous warships to supplant the Navy's eroding firepower. By [[2552]] it was responsible for the construction for a number of {{Class|Paris|heavy frigate|heavy frigates}}, with several still being assembled by the time of the Covenant's arrival.{{Ref/Reuse|lnos | ===Construction of Paris-class heavy frigates=== | ||

During the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552#August|August 2552]], ''Anchor 9'' was defended by Sabres during [[Operation: UPPER CUT]]. The station's defenses were off-line when the Covenant attacked, and one squadron was deployed to repel the incoming waves of [[Elsedda-pattern Banshee|Banshees]] and later [[Type-31 Seraph|Seraphs]]. When the third wave of Covenant fighters arrived, ''Anchor 9''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> point defense guns came back online. During the third wave, several [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]] arrived and attempted to attack the station, but were destroyed. After the Phantoms were destroyed, the remaining Seraphs and Banshees retreated.{{Ref/Reuse|lnos}} | |||

The {{UNSCShip|Savannah}} soon detached from ''Anchor 9'' to provide cover for the Sabres as they attacked and attempted to board an [[Ardent Prayer|enemy corvette]] which was inbound to refuel with the supercarrier. Almost immediately after the supercarrier was destroyed, the Covenant arrived en masse over Reach.{{Ref/Reuse|lnos}} The station was subsequently destroyed by a Covenant support fleet, which arrived several days later.{{Ref/Reuse|vis}} | ||

*''Anchor 9'' is also the setting of a multiplayer [[Anchor 9 (map)|map]] of the same name. Despite the name of the map being Anchor 9, the actual space station does not look like the Anchor 9 from campaign. The colors of the station are more white and yellow, and the geometry of the station is quite different. | |||
*The station was nicknamed the "space wafer" during the development of ''Halo: Reach''. It was initially designed by Jaime Jones, later redesigned by [[Isaac Hannaford]]. | *The station was nicknamed the "space wafer" during the development of ''Halo: Reach''.
