The '''Visegrád Relay''',{{Ref/Level|Id=NA|HR|Noble Actual}} also referred to as the '''Visegrád Communications Outpost''',{{Ref/Level|Id=WC|HR|Winter Contingency}} was one of the three [[Communication relay|primary carrier hubs]] on the [[human]] colony world of [[Reach]] that connected the northern region to the planet's main communications station, and thus the rest of [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]-controlled space.{{Ref/Game|Id=radio|HR|Halo: Reach radio conversations#Overlook|Overlook radio conversation}} It was situated 50 kilometers from the town of [[Visegrád]].{{Ref/Reuse|Id=WC}} | The '''Visegrád Relay''',{{Ref/Level|Id=NA|HR|Noble Actual}} also referred to as the '''Visegrád Communications Outpost''',{{Ref/Level|Id=WC|HR|Winter Contingency}} was one of the three [[Communication relay|primary carrier hubs]] on the [[human]] colony world of [[Reach]] that connected the northern region to the planet's main communications station, and thus the rest of [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]-controlled space.{{Ref/Game|Id=radio|Game=HR|Section=Halo: Reach radio conversations#Overlook|SectionLinkText=Overlook radio conversation}} It was situated 50 kilometers from the town of [[Visegrád]].{{Ref/Reuse|Id=WC}} | ||

The Visegrád Relay, along with the rest of Reach's communications network, had been hardened to withstand internal and external sabotage after [[insurrectionist]]s infiltrated the planet before [[Operation: CLEAN SWEEP]]. In addition, the relay had a "Level-5 communications package" installed before the onset of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Later, the relay station was used as a base of operations by Professor [[Laszlo Sorvad]], who led the [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] research of [[Forerunner]] artifacts recovered from a meteorite that had been found near Visegrád.{{Ref/Book|Dr. Halsey's personal journal}} | The Visegrád Relay, along with the rest of Reach's communications network, had been hardened to withstand internal and external sabotage after [[insurrectionist]]s infiltrated the planet before [[Operation: CLEAN SWEEP]].

On the night of [[2552#July|July 23, 2552]], a small [[Covenant]] force including the [[Devoted Sentries]] landed in Visegrád and disabled the communications relay.

In response, [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland]] sent teams of [[UNSC Army]] troopers including [[3 Charlie]]. However, contact with the teams was lost and they were declared [[Missing in action|MIA]]. The Office of Naval Intelligence theorized that the [[People's Occupation]]'s ultra-radical wing may have sabotaged the relay. While ONI deemed the use of [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTANs]] in the mission a misallocation of resources, Colonel Holland sent [[NOBLE Team]] to find out what happened to the teams, and to get the relay back online.<ref>''[[Remember Reach]]'', [[Patrol]]</ref>{{Ref/Reuse|Id=NA}} | ||
Due to the gravity of the situation and the presence of Covenant forces, Noble Team found it imperative to proceed to the relay as fast as possible. As Noble Team arrived at the facility, it was [[Battle of Visegrád|under siege]] by Covenant forces. After successfully taking control of the facility, Noble Team managed to recover [[Sára Sorvad|a survivor]] from the previous Covenant attack.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=WC}} The data obtained from the consoles was later transported to [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey]] at ONI [[SWORD Base]]{{Ref/Level|HR|ONI: Sword Base}} where it proved vital in decoding the data from the [[Babd Catha Forerunner vessel|Forerunner excavation]] there weeks later.{{Ref/Level|HR|The Package}} | Due to the gravity of the situation and the presence of Covenant forces, Noble Team found it imperative to proceed to the relay as fast as possible.
