===Fall of Reach===
{{Main|Fall of Reach/Silver}}
[[File:HTV-S2ReachCityattacked.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Reach City under Covenant attack.]]
In [[2553|April of 2553]],{{Ref/Reuse|Aleria}} [[Covenant]] forces managed to take down the [[Visegrád Relay]] and [[Cobalt Team]] when they were sent to investigate. Rather than defending Reach, the UNSC leadership,{{Ref/Film|Id=Visegrád|TV|Episode=[[Visegrád (TV Series)|Visegrád]]}} in particular [[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky/Silver|Margaret Parangosky]],{{Ref/Film|Id=Aleria|TV|Episode=[[Aleria (TV Series)|Aleria]]}} decided to abandon Reach to its fate while evacuating key military assets off of the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|Visegrád}}
 
With the relay down, the Covenant were able to create a blind spot with which to land troops, and began a ground assault, targeting the planet's power stations which would knock out the orbital defenses so that the [[Covenant fleet]] could move in to glass the planet. Under the command of [[Admiral]] [[Jacob Keyes/Silver|Jacob Keyes]], the remaining UNSC forces made a stand to buy civilians time to evacuate, but [[WHITE TOWER]] was eventually overrun, leading to deaths of Keyes and Spartan [[Vannak-134/Silver|Vannak-134]].{{Ref/Film|Id=Reach|TV|Episode=[[Reach (TV Series)|Reach]]}} By dawn, the planet's orbital defenses were down, and the Covenant had begun glassing, although some civilian transport ships managed to escape with survivors. Two days later, Dr. [[Catherine Halsey/Silver|Catherine Halsey]] told [[John-117/Silver|John-117]] that the evacuation ships had scattered in the chaos and there was no way of telling if any other Spartans aside from the remnants of [[Silver Team]] had managed to escape as well.{{Ref/Reuse|Aleria}} The survivors of Reach were subsequently scattered all across the galaxy.{{Ref/Film|Id=Thermopylae|TV|Episode=[[Thermopylae (TV Series)|Thermopylae]]}}
