On August 30, Gamma Station received a transmission from [[remote scanning outpost]] [[Fermion]] reporting an unconfirmed in-system [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] rupture; this belied the arrival of the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]].{{Ref/Reuse|Announce}} Shortly thereafter, three [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]] ([[John-117]], [[Linda-058]], and [[James-005]]) commandeered a [[D77-TC Pelican]]{{Ref/Reuse|FoRI}} to Reach Station Gamma. An ONI [[UNSC prowler|prowler]], the ''[[UNSC Circumference|Circumference]]'', docked in the station failed to delete its navigation database. Covenant intrusion software had detected the unsecured database and three [[Covenant frigate]]s were sent to secure the data. Those frigates were destroyed by [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] rounds from the planet's {{Class|Erőd|orbital weapon platform}}s, as well as firepower from the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, but not before they dispatched [[Sangheili Ranger|Elite]] and [[Kig-yar Ranger|Jackal]] rangers to secure the data.{{Ref/Reuse|FOR35}} Eventually, John-117 was able to destroy the database but Linda-058 was clinically killed and James-005 was lost in the vacuum of space after his [[thruster pack]] was damaged in combat. Several [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] were onboard the station: [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]] and [[Private]]s [[Wallace A. Jenkins|Jenkins]], [[Bisenti]], and [[O'Brien (Reach)|O'Brien]]. They were evacuated along with the Spartans. | On August 30, Gamma Station received a transmission from [[remote scanning outpost]] [[Fermion]] reporting an unconfirmed in-system [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] rupture; this belied the arrival of the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]].{{Ref/Reuse|Announce}} Shortly thereafter, three [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]] ([[John-117]], [[Linda-058]], and [[James-005]]) commandeered a [[D77-TC Pelican]]{{Ref/Reuse|FoRI}} to Reach Station Gamma.

As such, once victory in orbit was secured, the Covenant forces remaining near Reach gathered Gamma Station's wreckage over Reach's northern pole alongside that of the other warships destroyed in the battle.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||
