Szurdok Ridge was a mountainous ridge in Ütközet, Viery Territory on the human Inner Colony world of Reach.[1][2]
Overview[edit]
Geography[edit]

History[edit]
Human-Covenant war[edit]
In the August 2552, a portion of Noble Team was sent to scout a Covenant "dark zone" at Szurdok Ridge during the Fall of Reach. There they discovered that the area was being used as a staging ground for their forces to invade the planet.[2]
The next day a large battle between the United Nations Space Command and the Covenant took place on the ridge. UNSC forces would eventually make their way to Spire One. There, the Sh'wada-pattern supercarrier would destroy the UNSC Grafton, sending its wreckage into the ground.[1]
Post-war[edit]
During Operation: WOLFE, Banished forces were sent to scout Szurdok Ridge.[3]
Trivia[edit]
- "Szurdok" is the Hungarian word for "canyon". Hence the name, "Szurdok Ridge" sounds like a narrow trench or "Ridge".
- Szurduk is a commune in present-day Romania.
