| '''Rally Point Zulu''' was a point in the space surrounding the planet [[Reach]] that was designated as a staging area for all [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] warships in the [[Epsilon Eridani system]] on the final day of the [[Fall of Reach]]: [[2552#August|August 30, 2552]].{{Ref/Note|In earlier printings of ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', Admiral Freemont recalled all ships in the "Epsilon Eridani, Jericho, and Tantalus systems". However, it is since been revealed that [[Tantalus]] is actually another planet in the Epsilon Eridani system; "Jericho" presumably refers to the [[Lambda Serpentis system]], which was invaded by the Covenant in [[2535]]. The 2011 ''Definitive Edition'' of ''The Fall of Reach'' changes Freemont's order to extend only to the Epsilon Eridani system.}} At this rally point, all recalled ships would attempt to repulse the newly-arrived [[Covenant]] [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], which had come to crush all remaining resistance and [[Glassing|glass]] the planet after a month and a half of conflict. The appropriate UNSC vessels were alerted by [[UNSC Alpha Priority Transmission 04592Z-83]], sent by [[Admiral]] [[Roland Freemont]], the leader of the [[FLEETCOM Sector One]] and of the [[Epsilon Eridani Fleet]].<ref>''Halo: The Fall of Reach Definitive Edition'', page 335</ref><ref>''[[Halo: Fleet Battles]]'', [[Scenario Eight: Rally Point Zulu]]</ref>

| At first, 100 UNSC warships united at Rally Point Zulu, with 52 more arriving minutes later and the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} arriving shortly after that.<ref>''Halo: The Fall of Reach Definitive Edition'', page 343</ref> The assembled vessels ultimately failed to defend Reach from the Covenant attack. Within minutes, all but a fraction of the ships at Rally Point Zulu were destroyed. The Covenant then pressed through the shattered defensive line, destroyed the now-inert [[orbital defense platform]]s, and began glassing the planet.<ref>''Halo: The Fall of Reach Definitive Edition'', page 385</ref>
