'''Reach''', also known as '''Epsilon Eridani II'''{{Ref/Reuse|vis}}{{Ref/Generic|Halo Channel|[[Halo Channel]]|Encyclopedia}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=42-43}} and referred to by the [[Sangheili]] as '''Sovolanu''',{{Ref/Novel|Id=HVS|Halo: Venezian Sonata}} is a [[human]] [[human colonies|colony]] [[planet|world]] in the [[Epsilon Eridani system]], located within the [[Inner Colonies]] and is the sister planet of [[Earth]] itself. At 10.5 light years from the [[Sol system]], it is located at Earth's metaphorical doorstep. Reach is the fourth largest planet in the Epsilon Eridani system, and second closest to the star Epsilon Eridani.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}
'''Reach''' is a major [[United Nations Space Command]] colony world.
==Introduction==
Located in the [[Epsilon Eridani]] star system in [[FLEETCOM Sector One]], Reach is one of the headquarters for the [[UNSC]], and the main supplier of military and civilian spacecraft. Originally colonized for its rich titanium deposits, Reach has mines throughout it running thousands of meters deep. [[HIGHCOM]], [[FLEETCOM]] and the [[Marine]] Corps had headquarters on Reach, as well as many primary [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] bases, which include [[CASTLE Base]].
==Locations==
CASTLE base was located on Reach underneath [[Mechanite Mountain]]. This facility is where the [[Spartans]] first began their training. The facility was destroyed after the planet's fall to the [[Covenant]]. A secret area beneath Reach's surface contained a [[Forerunner]] [[Forerunner Crystal|artifact]] that was highly desired by the Covenant. The fact that this artifact was so valuable to them is perhaps the main reason anyone survived Reach at all, because the Covenant were fearful of [[Glassing|destroying]] it.  
==Battle for Reach==


Once home to a [[Forerunner]] presence, Reach held considerable importance to the [[United Nations Space Command]] as the nexus of its military and the site of many military-industrial facilities such as shipyards. It was also significant for being one of the largest producers of [[titanium]], which is plentiful on the planet. Though most commonly recognized for its status as a military world, Reach was also humanity's most populous colony world,{{Ref/Novel|Id=ch32|HCH|Chapter=1}}{{Ref/Book|OSFM|Page=94}} its [[civilian]] population living in its preplanned [[city|cities]] or defying the planet's harsh nature in sturdy [[Kiva|pioneer settlements]].{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} It was considered a center for civilian enterprise and logistical hub.{{Ref/Book|Enc09|Page=42-43}}{{Ref/Book|Enc11|Page=42-43}}
:''See the main article: [[Battle of Reach]]''


Reach became the target of a [[Covenant]] invasion in [[2552]]. Although the planet was defended by the UNSC for several weeks, Reach eventually [[Fall of Reach|fell]] to the Covenant, resulting in the planet's [[glassing]] in one of the most decisive defeats suffered by humanity over the course of the [[Human-Covenant War]] and the demise of the majority of its population.
The Covenant discovered the location of Reach during the battle of [[Sigma Octanus IV]]. A [[Forerunner]] artifact pointed toward Reach as a location of another Forerunner artifact. Coincidentally, the Covenant attached a spy drone onto the ''[[Iroquois|UNSC Iroquois]]'' after the battle which allowed them to know the amount of forces around Reach. <ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 216</ref>By the time of the [[Battle of Reach]] the population of the planet was 1 billion people.  


==Overview==
Reach was defended by more than a hundred UNSC ships, including the some of the UNSC's finest vessels such as the ''[[Leviathan]]'', the ''[[Hannibal]]'', the ''[[UNSC Trafalgar]]'' and the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]''. In addition to the fleet, Reach was defended by 20 Mark V Orbital [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] satellites. Though the defenses were enormous, they couldn't hold back the Covenant onslaught.
[[File:Reachtoearth.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A comparison of Earth's size to Reach's.{{Ref/Reuse|comparison}}]]
===Orbital characteristics===
Reach has a strong [[Wikipedia:Aurora (astronomy)|aurora]] phenomenon, to the extent the planet is covered in an "aura" of aurorae.{{Ref/Level|HR|Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace}} Reach has two [[natural satellite]]s; the large, ringed [[Csodaszarvas]] and the small, cratered [[Turul]] which was captured into Reach's orbit as recently as some 70-80 thousand years ago.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1045222|Site=halo.bungie.org|Page=I've got your answer, Levi...}} Reach's oceans also experience strong tidal phenomena.<ref>''Halo: Reach'', Limited Edition bonus content, map of Reach</ref>

===Topography and ecology===
For a young planet with an age of less than one billion years, compared to Earth's 4.6 billion year existence, Reach is remarkably geologically stable.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} Reach is larger than Earth, having a diameter of 15,273 kilometers, compared to the 12,756 kilometers diameter of Earth.<ref name="comparison">[https://twitter.com/Bungie/status/12053226321?s=19 ''Twitter'', Bungie] ([http://twitpic.com/1f46ee ''Twitpic'': Earth and Reach comparison])</ref> Reach was originally inhospitable for human life, requiring some degree of [[terraforming]] before it could be colonized. Mostly a rugged and harsh wilderness filled with towering mountains, deserts and weather-beaten forests, Reach's surface is pockmarked with meteor impact craters, some of these forming large seas.<ref name="gi">[http://gameinformer.com/mag/haloreach.aspx ''GameInformer'': February 2010]</ref>


Reach was home to numerous species of indigenous animals and vegetation, with some being imported by [[human]]s. The [[spadehorn]] is a herbivorous animal native to Reach's grasslands.{{Ref/Book|EVG|Page=181}} [[Moa]] are large, flightless birds, with reptilian features, that are often domesticated and consumed by humans.<ref name="Update">[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_073010 ''Bungie.net'': Bungie Weekly Update: 07.30.2010]</ref>{{Ref/Level|Id=exo|HR|[[Exodus]]}} The [[gúta]] is the largest terrestrial lifeform discovered on Reach and is very dangerous, albeit rarely aggressive.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=enemies&cid=28449 B.net classification]</ref> A [[List of animals|species of bird]] visually similar to birds from [[Earth]], were also found on the planet. Wolves and owls, from Earth, inhabited the forests of Reach.{{Ref/Novel|TFoR|Page=63}}{{Ref/Novel|TFoR|Page=65}} Koi were often found in decorative ponds and water gardens.{{Ref/Map|HR|[[Reflection]]}} [[Rats]] were also common pests on the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|exo}} [[Cherot]]s, [[guper]]s, and [[kropey]]s were native animals of Reach.{{Ref/Novel|SoR|Chapter=8}}
==Locations on Reach==


Some of Reach's indigenous fauna are known to have survived the fall of the planet. Flocks of moa still survive on Reach in remote sectors that were not glassed by the Covenant, while some were transported to other worlds before Reach's glassing.{{Ref/Site|Id=canonfodder|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-have-s-moa|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder: Have S'moa}}
Here are a few important places on and around Reach.

==History==
===Ancient history===
The [[Forerunner]]s maintained a presence on Reach long before [[human]] colonization, creating a [[Menachite portal complex|portal complex]] under [[Menachite Mountain]].{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/point-taken|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Point Taken}}{{Ref/Novel|SoR}}
 
At some point, an [[Babd Catha Forerunner vessel|unknown]] [[Forerunner starship]] crash landed into Reach leaving a debris field across [[Eposz]]. The vessel specifically landed at what would end up becoming [[SWORD Base]] at [[Babd Catha Ice Shelf]].{{Ref/Site|Id=bulletin|D=10|M=10|Y=2014|URL=https://blogs.halowaypoint.com/en-us/blogs/headlines/posts/the-halo-bulletin-4-16-14|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=The Halo Bulletin: 4.16.14}}
 
===Rise of humanity===
{{Main|Project OUTBOUND}}
[[File:HTFoR AS - military complex.jpg|thumb|200px|The [[Reach FLEETCOM Military Complex|FLEETCOM Military Complex]] in Reach's Highland Mountains.]]
The first planetary confirmations of Reach were made in the early 21st century.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} Originally colonized during humanity's first wave of extrasolar colonization in [[2362]] by the ''[[Odyssey]]'',{{Ref/Book|HM|Section=Rise of Humanity|Page=54}} Reach was chosen to be the site of a colony due to its rich [[titanium]] deposits.{{Ref/Novel|HTFoR|Chapter=8}}
 
Upon arriving, the ''Odyssey'' was deconstructed into [[terraforming]] installations and a research colony of 5,000 scientists and workers. Soon more people arrived. By [[2390]], the first wave of terraforming was done and a second major colonization effort began. The UNSC transitioned much of its administrative and technical infrastructure to the system, which was soon followed by corporate investments. This included the building of the planet's first [[space elevator]] at [[Veszprém]]. More space elevators would be built across Reach's equatorial band.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
[[BXR Mining Corporation]] had mined these titanium reserves since the early years of colonization, and set up facilities across the planet's super-continent.{{Ref/Generic|Id=defiantend|[[Defiant to the End]]}}
 
By [[2490]], Reach had become the UNSC's primary naval yard and training academy; producing [[warship]]s and [[colony ship]]s and training special forces.{{Ref/Site|Id=xbox|URL=http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/h/halo/storyline.htm|Site=Xbox.com|Page=Halo Storyline|D=24|M=04|Y=2008|LocalArchive=Archive:Xbox.com/Halo/Timeline|Detail=(Additional copy on [http://halo.bungie.org/misc/mstimeline2.html HBO Forums])}}
 
====Insurrection====
{{Main|Insurrection}}
Despite its position as the UNSC's largest naval base, strategic headquarters, and second-largest population center,{{Ref/Reuse|ch32}} the Epsilon Eridani system was wracked by [[Insurrectionist]] activity throughout the early 26th century. Reach's sister planet, [[Tribute]], was one of the fronts for the UNSC's anti-terrorist campaign, [[Operation: TREBUCHET]]. In [[2525]], mere months before  the outbreak of the [[Human-Covenant War]], Reach was the site of a major terrorist bombing against the luxury liner ''[[National Holiday]]''. Two [[orbital taxi]]s filled with explosives were crashed into the liner, causing the liner to plummet into the atmosphere, incinerating everyone on board.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: Contact Harvest|Page=127}}
 
The legendary [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-IIs]] were trained and housed on Reach, in the [[Reach FLEETCOM Military Complex]] in the [[Highland Mountains]]. [[Frederic-104]] said Reach was their home and every SPARTAN-II would fight to the death to defend it.{{Ref/Novel|[[Halo: First Strike]]}}
 
===Human-Covenant War===
{{Main|Human-Covenant War}}
In [[2525]], the single surviving vessel of [[Battle Group 4]], the {{CMAShip|Heracles}}, returned to Reach recounting the [[First Battle of Harvest]].{{Ref/Reuse|xbox}}
In [[2531]], the operations of an insurrectionist saboteur cell on Reach were disrupted by a four-man team of Spartan-II supersoldiers known as [[Blue Team]].{{Ref/Novel|[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]|Page=36-37}} Circa the early 2530s, the mines under [[Menachite Mountain]] were active before being appropriated by [[ONI Section Three]].{{Ref/Novel|FS|Chapter=12}} By [[2535]], a third of the planet's population was part of the military and the Epsilon Eridani system was seemingly on permanent warfooting.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
In [[2547]], plans were put in place to save machines, tools and personnel from an unknown ship manufacturer on the under [[Battle of Skopje|attack]] colony of [[Skopje]] and move them to Reach to continue the war effort.{{Ref/Anthology|Id=Dirt|[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]|[[Dirt]]}}
 
====Fall of Reach====
{{Main|Fall of Reach|Reach Defense Coordination Zone|Aftermath of the Fall of Reach}}
[[File:Glassed Reach.png|thumb|left|250px|Reach after its glassing.{{Ref/Level|H2A|[[The Heretic]]}}]]
Reach fell to the Covenant during the Human-Covenant War in [[2552]]. An [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence|advance strike force]] first arrived at the planet in late [[2552#July|July]], [[Battle of Visegrád|taking out]] [[Visegrád Relay|a major communications outpost]] and attacking several UNSC facilities over a span of several weeks. This force was effectively destroyed when the fleet's [[flagship]], the {{Pattern|Sh'wada|supercarrier}} ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'' was destroyed during [[Operation: UPPER CUT]]. However, a significantly larger Covenant fleet sent by the [[Ministry of Resolution]] arrived on [[2552#August|August 14]] and began to lay siege to several cities on the planet shortly after the ''Long Night of Solace'' was destroyed. The final battle for the planet was fought when a massive combined Covenant invasion fleet over 300 ships strong led by the [[Supreme Commander]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee and the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] arrived in the morning of August 30.{{Ref/Reuse|vis}} Additionally, the other human colonies in the Epsilon Eridani system were attacked by the Covenant, [[Battle of Tribute|including]] [[Tribute]].<ref>''Halo 3: ODST'', "Dutch" Firefight Character Profile</ref>
 
The final attack halted [[Operation: RED FLAG]], a plan devised by the UNSC to bring an end to the war, as the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, which was already on its way to the mission, was recalled to Reach to defend the planet against the massive Covenant attack. The majority of the SPARTAN-IIs aboard the ship were dispatched to the planet's surface to protect the [[Orbital defense generator|generators]] for the [[orbital defense platform]]s,{{Ref/Novel|Halo: First Strike|Page=22}} while a small team led by [[John-117]] boarded [[Reach Station Gamma]] to secure an unprotected NAV database aboard the [[ONI]] [[UNSC prowler|prowler]] ''[[UNSC Circumference|Circumference]]''.{{Ref/Novel|TFoR|Page=308}} Eventually, the ''Autumn'' was one of the few ships to escape the battle.{{Ref/Level|HR|[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]}}
 
The battle was a disaster for the numerically-inferior UNSC fleet, despite the orbital defense platforms. The Covenant glassed most of Reach with [[glassing|plasma bombardment]]. CASTLE base was destroyed after the planet's fall and the Covenant began searching for a [[Forerunner crystal]].{{Ref/Novel|Halo: First Strike|Page=145-146}} The remaining UNSC forces finally abandoned the planet during a [[Raid on Reach|small raid]] a few days later. The raid turned into a rescue operation when it was determined that [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartans]] were still alive and on Reach, resulting in the destruction of over a dozen Covenant capital ships and many of their ground forces, at the cost of four Spartan-IIs and heavy damage to a UNSC-captured [[Ascendant Justice|ship]].{{Ref/Novel|Halo: First Strike|Page=171-186}} Glassing of the world ceased by September 27, 2552.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
Reach's surface received black rain for months after being glassed.{{Ref/Novel|SoR|Chapter=18}}

In [[2553#November|November 2553]], a pioneer group arrived on Reach for an initial search and preparation for the planet's reterraforming.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2994218_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post2994218|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Catalog Interaction (Page 43)}} Due to its symbolic and strategic value, Reach was quickly selected for rehabilitation and full-scale recolonization by the [[Unified Earth Government]],{{Ref/Reuse|wf}} classified as a priority redevelopment area.{{Ref/Reuse|osfm94}} This was against the wishes of some who wanted to prioritize the reconstruction of Sol.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
In [[2554]] and [[2555]], technical staff landed on the planet to fully assess the condition of the world, refit the original terraforming systems, and install new atmospheric scrubbers to prevent further damage to the biosphere.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
Although an ambitious and lengthy project, Reach's recolonization is aided by the planet's handful of surviving settlements and the remaining [[space elevator]]s,{{Ref/Reuse|wf}} though hindered by the devastation to all major military sites and population centers during the Fall of Reach.{{Ref/Reuse|osfm94}} [[Aquarius Terraforming Solutions]] was a prime candidate over the [[Liang-Dortmund Corporation]] in the restoration project of Reach; especially as the latter would have required politically risky territorial and resources concessions.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFFoundations|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-foundations|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Foundations|D=12|M=01|Y=2022}}
 
Operations conducted by the UNSC on Reach are under strict ONI security classification, classified to other UNSC personnel regardless of rank or position. Terrestrial and orbital operations were complicated by the presence of unaffiliated local civilians, contractors of the Unified Earth Government, and unlicensed [[Kig-Yar]] [[Salvaging|salvagers]]. While specific strategic objectives were classified, Spartans with experience and a background in [[combat engineer]]ing and covert action were asked to report to ONI for screening and assessment for a mission to Reach. It was rumored that ONI intended to dispatch [[Spartan-IV]]s to search CASTLE Base under Menachite Mountain for an unspecified object.{{Ref/Reuse|osfm94}}
 
Circa [[2558]], Reach has a population of 121,000;{{Ref/Reuse|wf}} UNSC presence was minimal.{{Ref/Reuse|osfm94}}

====Created uprising====
{{Main|Second Ark Conflict|Created uprising}}
On [[2559#April|April 2, 2559]], Captain [[James Cutter]] and Professor [[Ellen Anders]] attempted to send [[Installation 09]] from [[Installation 00]] to the former site of [[Installation 04]] in the [[Soell system]], where a distress beacon would be deployed. Their hope was that this would be within communication range of Reach, where someone might hear them and be able to send reinforcements. However, the Halo and Professor Anders would be intercepted by one of Cortana's [[Guardian Custode|Guardians]] before they reached their destination.{{Ref/Level|HW2|Hold the Line}}{{Ref/Level|HW2|Last Stand (Halo Wars 2 level)|Last Stand}} Prior to [[2559#October|October 9, 2559]], the [[Banished]], [[Keepers of the One Freedom]], [[Clan of the Ravaged Tusks|Ravaged Tusks]] and the [[Legion of the Corpse-Moon]] began to occupy parts of the planet.{{Ref/Novel|SoR|Chapter=3}}
 
On October 9, [[Blue Team]], was deployed to the planet in [[Operation: WOLFE]] as part of a covert attempt to retrieve assets that could help in the fight against the [[Created]]'s occupation of the [[Orion Arm]].{{Ref/Novel|SoR|Chapter=1}} By the 12th, the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} was in orbit of the world along with a complement of {{Class|Anlace|light frigate}}s and [[Longsword]]s, destroying old satellites to stop any communication from going interstellar and alerting the [[Created]].{{Ref/Novel|SoR|Chapter=13}}

===Distant future===
By [[2589]], Reach was in a habitable state, and new human colonists were re-settling the planet.{{Ref/Level|Id=hrlonewolf|HR|Level=Lone Wolf}} The planet was still evidently littered with destroyed ship and debris from both the Covenant and UNSC, thirty-seven years after the fall of the planet. By [[2610]], at least two cities on the planet, [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]] and [[Esztergom]], were reconstructed.{{Ref/Generic|[[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition]]|Detail=[[:File:Journal Package Letter.jpg|Journal Package Letter]]}}

==Government==
Reach was the most important headquarters for the [[United Nations Space Command]] outside of Earth and the main supplier of military and civilian spacecraft, and the location of the UNSC's largest and most active shipyard. [[UNSC High Command|High Command]], [[FLEETCOM|Fleet Command]] and the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] maintained headquarters on Reach, as well as many primary [[Office of Naval Intelligence|Naval Intelligence]] bases, which included the highly classified [[CASTLE Base]]. It was also where the UNSC's most elite troops, including the [[ODST]]s as well as the SPARTAN-IIs, were trained. Reach's purpose was not solely military, however, the surface of the planet also featured farmland and civilian towns and districts.<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]'', p. 52</ref> The largest cities on Reach were [[Manassas]], [[Quezon]], [[Esztergom]] and [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]].{{Ref/Reuse|vis}}
 
The license plates for some land vehicles, such as the [[Spade]], had Reach as an identifier on them.{{Ref/Game|HR|Detail=[[Spade]] model}}
 
After the planet fell, the [[Eposz Reclamation Collective]] would be created by rehabilitation pioneers and govern at least parts of [[Arany Basin]].{{Ref/Reuse|SoR8}}
 
===Defenses===
[[File:EEfleet.png|thumb|250px|UNSC ships stationed above Reach prior to its destruction.]]
While Earth was rightly seen as the UNSC's commercial, political, and cultural center, Reach was undeniably the hub of its military power. The [[Epsilon Eridani Fleet]] was a full strength [[battle group|carrier group]] with the {{Class|Punic|supercarrier}} {{UNSCShip|Trafalgar}} at its core.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}
 
A semi-mobile array of twenty [[orbital defense platform]]s, equipped with heavy [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC guns]] also known as "big sticks," orbited around Reach. At least one {{Class|Moncton|orbital weapon platform}} was in place as early as [[2527]], with {{Class|Erőd|orbital weapon platform}}s requiring the usage of extensive ground-based [[orbital defense generator]] facilities entering service by [[2552]].{{Ref/Game|HFB}} The "big sticks" were defended by multiple wings of single ships and tactical multi-role craft. In addition, there were also about 100 to 150 [[UNSC starship|starships]] stationed in the Epsilon Eridani system at any time. Reach also had a network of 18 [[refit station]]s orbiting it.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=29866|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Noble Map Pack Quick Looks}} The [[UNSC Army]] also maintained "wet navy" assets on Reach, specifically submarine arsenal ships.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=61}} At the height of the Insurrection, the CMA stockpiled weaponry on the planet including vast quantities of [[VK78 Commando|early model VK78 Commandos]].{{Ref/Game|Id=cmavk78|HI|Weapon customization|CMA VK78 - Description|Quote=The Colonial Military Authority stockpiled vast numbers of early model VK78 rifles on Reach during the height of the insurrection. Many remain there now, waiting to be freed from tombs of glass.}}
 
An [[Reach super-AI network|ONI super-AI network]] used for high-level number crunching was also located on Reach.<ref>''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe'', "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole", p. 475-476, 484</ref> [[REACH DOC NET]] was a computer network on or around Reach.{{Ref/Novel|TFoR|Page=302}} Reach also had a [[slipspace COM launcher]].{{Ref/Novel|Halo: Ghosts of Onyx|Page=176}}
 
Prior to its fall, these were Reach's defense statistics:
*Total available military manpower: 385,421,100{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}
*Total land assets: 58,430{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}
*Total naval assets: 1,209 (T); 75 (X){{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}
*Total air assets: 11,050{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}
*Serviceable airports: 1,246{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}
*Defense budget: [[cR]]. 38,287,000,000 [as of 2548]{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}
 
Following the fall of the planet and the initial resettlement, defense of some parts of Reach fell to the [[Viery Militia]] under the Eposz Reclamation Collective.{{Ref/Reuse|SoR8}}

===Culture===
Many of Reach's original settlers hailed from [[Europe]], particularly [[Wikipedia:Hungary|Hungary]], which is reflected in some of the place names on the planet. Many of the planet's inhabitants also spoke [[Hungarian]] as their first language.{{Ref/Level|Id=wc|HR|[[Winter Contingency]]}} Despite Reach's harsh nature, some settlers chose to live in small communities of homesteads, referred to as "[[kiva]]s",<ref>''Halo: Reach'', [[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition|Legendary Edition]] Developer Commentary</ref> in the wilderness instead of the major cities. Rounded and enclosed, they were comfortable but practical, shuttered against Reach's forceful climate and bunkered into hillsides. It also related their independent nature; powered by [[wind turbine]]s and hydroelectric plants, they were off the grid and self-sustaining.<ref name="EDGE">[http://www.edge-online.com/ ''EDGE Magazine'', February 2010]</ref>{{Ref/Map|HR|[[Powerhouse]]}} Reach was also the host of sporting events such as the [[2552 Reach Galactic Cup]]{{Ref/Reuse|exo}} and [[24 Hours of Quezon]].{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-needle-me-this|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Needle Me This}}

[[File:HTV-HalseyComputer-Reach.png|200px|thumb|Reach in the Silver Timeline.]]
===Silver Timeline===
{{Main|Reach/Silver}}
Reach in the [[Silver Timeline]] is an Inner Colony and the largest and most prominent human colony with a population of around 703,341,500. Most of this population is of Eastern European descent, predominately Hungarian and Romanian. Reach was a key mining world and has the most significant shipyards outside of Sol. It is defended by the [[Reach Military Complex]].{{Ref/Reuse|silver}}
 
Reach was the first extrasolar world settled by humanity and would be important for further colonization due to its habitability and slipspace routes.{{Ref/Site|Id=silver|URL=https://halotheseries.tv/|Site=Halo: The Series|Page=Dr. Catherine Halsey's Computer|D=25|M=3|Y=2022|LocalArchive=Dr. Catherine Halsey's Computer}}

==Gameplay==
[[File:Halo Reach Powerhouse.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The map [[Powerhouse]], which is set on Reach.]]
Reach, in the midst of its glassing, briefly appears in ''[[The Heretic]]'' in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''.
 
Two levels of the ''[[Halo Interactive Strategy Game]]'' take place on Reach: ''[[Defense of Castle Base]]'' and ''[[The Hidden Artifact of Reach]]''.
 
Every [[Campaign]] level of ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' takes place on Reach. Save for the map ''[[Installation 04 (map)|Installation 04]]'', all of ''Halo: Reach{{'}}''s [[Firefight]] maps are set on Reach. ''[[Tempest]]'', ''[[Forge World]]'', and five of the [[Anniversary Map Pack]] [[multiplayer]] maps are not set on Reach; while ''[[High Noon]]'' and all other maps in the game do take place on or around Reach.

===''Halo Online''===
In the pre-alpha of ''[[Halo Online]]'', the [[Armor customization (Halo Online)#Pre-Alpha|JUGGERNAUT-class armor]] states that its design was found on Reach in 2553 and all new sets of it are flecked in Reach's dirt.
===''Halo Infinite''===
At one point, concept art for ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' was created of settings on a post-glassed Reach, likely indicating that at one point in development, Reach was to be a visited location in the game.
