[[File:HR Screenshot Epilogue-Torott.png|thumb|right|300px|Mount Törött in [[2589|July 2589]], after [[Reach]]'s [[Terraforming|reterraforming]].]]

Reach was [[Human colonies|colonised]] by the [[Unified Earth Government]] in [[2362]]. At some point following its colonisation, a number of [[Asźod ship breaking yards|ship-breaking yards]] were established nearby.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', multiplayer map [[Boneyard]]</ref>

During the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552]], the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} docked at the ship-breaking yards nearby Törött, to receive a fragment of the [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Cortana]] from the three remaining members of [[NOBLE Team]], [[Carter-A259]], [[Emile-A239]] and [[SPARTAN-B312|Noble Six]], who were tasked with ferrying it to the ship from [[SWORD Base]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level [[The Package]]</ref> NOBLE arrived at the  ship-breaking yards on August 30.<ref name="PoA">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level [[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]</ref>

At some point while the ''Autumn'' was docked, [[Pelican]] [[Bravo 001]] became lost and was directed by the radio operator [[Golden Arrow]] to change its heading to south-southwest and fly straight over the tree tops and land in the woodland near Mount Törött. Unbeknownst to Golden Arrow, Bravo 001 was supposed to be transporting [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Red Team]] to the [[Asźod ship breaking yards]] to rendezvous with the ''Pillar of Autumn''.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[Halo: Reach radio conversations#Part 1 - Breakpoint|Breakpoint radio conversation]]''</ref>

After making their way through [[Covenant]]-occupied territory to reach the ship, and losing Carter on the way, Noble Six and Emile delivered the fragment of Cortana to [[Jacob Keyes]], the captain of the ship. However, Emile was killed by a [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealot]] moments after, and Six was forced to remain behind to cover the ship's escape from an approaching {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} with a nearby [[Mark 2488 Onager]] emplacement. He was successful, and the ship managed to break atmosphere unscathed.{{Ref/Reuse|PoA}} Now alone, without any support or possibility of evacuation, Six was eventually overwhelmed by Covenant forces and killed near the foot of Mount Törött.<ref name="LW">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level [[Lone Wolf]]</ref>

Having won the battle, the Covenant proceeded to [[Glassing|glass]] the planet, including the area surrounding Törött.{{Ref/Reuse|LW}}<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level [[Winter Contingency]]</ref>

In the aftermath of the [[Human-Covenant War]], Unified Earth Government marked Reach as a priority target for [[Terraforming|reterraforming]] and recolonisation.<ref>'''[[Halo: Warfleet]]''', page 23</ref> The planet made a significant ecological recovery, and the area surrounding Törött became verdant and lush with vegetation. By [[2589]], the area was habitable again and an [[unidentified colony ship]] landed in Asźod, at the base of the mountain, and commenced recolonization of the area. At this point, the mountain was covered in snow.{{Ref/Reuse|LW}}
