| '''Farragut Station''', also known as '''Farragut Outpost''', was a small communications outpost near [[SWORD Base]] on the [[Babd Catha Ice Shelf]] on [[Reach]]. Located in a small valley, the outpost was composed of three deteriorating, primarily wooden structures arranged in a circular shape.<ref name="sword">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[ONI: Sword Base]]''</ref>
| | On August 29th, SPARTAN-B312 and a team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] once again passed through Farragut Station whilst on a mission to destroy the nearby Sword Base. However, by this time the station had been flooded, leaving only the rooftops above water. The team encountered minimal Covenant resistance before moving on toward the objective. |

| ==History==
| |
| Prior to [[2551|May 2551]], an incident considered by [[Laszlo Sorvad]] to be "intolerable" occurred on Farragut station, resulting in the professor's relocation from the facility.<ref>[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]], May 10, 2551</ref>

| | |
| During the [[Fall of Reach]] on [[2552#July|July 26, 2552]], [[Covenant Empire|the Covenant]] had cut off communications from SWORD Base during [[First Battle of Sword Base|an attack]]. [[Catherine-B320]] and [[SPARTAN-B312]] were ordered to reactivate the [[COM]] array at Farragut Station in order to contact [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] Command. A small Covenant force was occupying the base at that time.<ref name=sword />

| Between [[2552#August|August 14]] and August 29, Covenant forces occupying Sword Base built a defensive position at Farragut Station. This position contained multiple [[Rizsheda-pattern Shade|Shade Turrets]], a [[Covenant watchtower]] and a pair of [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghosts]], manned by a group of [[Unggoy|Grunts]] led by a single [[Kig-yar Sniper|Sniper Jackal]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[The Package]]''</ref> On August 29, SPARTAN-B312 and a team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] once again passed through Farragut Station whilst on a mission to destroy the nearby Sword Base. However, by the time of arrival the station had been flooded due to ice melt from Covenant activity, leaving only the rooftops above water. The team destroyed the Covenant defensive position before moving on toward the objective.
