'''[[Remote scanning outpost|Remote Scanning Outpost]] ''Fermion''''', also known as '''''Fermion'' RSO''', was an outpost in the [[Epsilon Eridani system|Epsilon Eridani System]] designed to detect incoming threats to the [[Reach]] military complex. It was crewed by three individuals. On August 30, 2552, the ''Fermion'' detected a fleet of over 300 Covenant vessels entering the Epsilon Eridani system. Prior to identifying the transient Slipspace contact, it attempted to initiate [[halo: The Cole Protocol| the Cole Protocol]]. However, the station's science library (which contained every [[UNSC Astrophysics]] journal) was offline for repairs and could not be erased with the viral scavengers. The ''Fermion'' alerted [[UNSC Fleet Command|FleetCom]] and the last order the commanding officer gave was to lock out the reactor safeties and flood the reactor with deuterium. It is presumed that the station then self-destructed.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', chapter 31</ref>

 

The three man crew of the ''Fermion'' were the late [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[McRobb]], [[Lieutenant, Junior Grade]] [[Bill Streeter]], and Lieutenant (J.G.) [[David Brightling]].<ref name="pretty">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', page 282</ref>
