'''''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/Book|Id=vis|EVG|Page=7}}{{Ref/Site|Id=quicklooks|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=29866|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Complete Noble Map Pack Quick Looks|D=1|M=3|Y=2013}}{{Ref/YouTube|Id=quicklookYT|Fr6a2lXFsCM|Bungie|Halo: Reach - Quick Look Anchor 9|D=20|M=11|Y=2010}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=36}}
'''''Anchor 9''''' ('''SRRS-01007''' <ref name="vis">'''''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]] — ''''' page 7</ref>) was a [[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 name="Anchor">[http://www.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=29866 '''Bungie.net''': ''Noble Map Pack Quick Looks'']</ref>
 
==Overview==
===Design details===
The station consisted of three main hubs, each with its own [[hangar]] (capable of storing [[space fighter]]s such as [[FSS-1000 Sabre]]s) and repair station. The station was constructed from a series of modular storage cells, communication nodes, habitat blocks and [[Point-defense gun|point-defence batteries]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} 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/Level|Id=lnos|HR|Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace}}
 
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/Marketing|Id=Unspoken|HINF|Become|[[UNSC Archives]]|Detail=[[Unspoken]]}}


==Service history==
==Description==
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 had three main hubs, each with it's own hangar and [[UNSC Sabre engineering facility|repair station]].Several [[YSS-1000 Sabre]] fighters could be stored and serviced inside. In addition, it had docking ports for larger vessels such as [[Cruiser|cruisers]] and [[UNSC frigate|frigates]]. The station also was surrounded by frigate build-and-repair facilities, which had several half-built ships in them.<ref name="video">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJqw6QvSzXQ '''YouTube''': ''E3 2010 Extended Reach Campaign Mission HD'']</ref>


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}} Its naval yards were also responsible for the construction of [[cruiser]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}


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


[[SPARTAN-B312]] and [[Jorge-052]] then docked in one of the station's hangars. Jorge left the Sabre to arm a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drive]] attached to a Pelican dropship; this Slipspace drive would be used as an improvised bomb against the ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'', a Covenant {{Pattern|Sh'wada|supercarrier}}. 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}} Although Anchor 9 did not survive the [[Space engagements over Reach|space warfare]] over Reach, it was able to bring some of the half-derelict ships it was servicing online to a limited degree.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==Production notes==
==Trivia==
*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]].
*''Anchor 9'' is also the setting of a multiplayer [[Anchor 9 (level)|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 multiplayer version looks more like the [[UNSC Hopeful]].
