Visegrad was a town on the human colony world of Reach. The region was remote and mostly agricultural, and home to several small self-sufficient farming communities. Located 15 kilometers from the town was one of the communication relay outposts responsible for the planet's communications.[1][2][3]
Some of the settlers in the region had lived in there for three generations. In 2552, two of Visegrad's inhabitants commented that Visegrad was "dying" and that the only choice was to move to the metropolitan city of Manassas.[4]
On July 23, 2552, a small Covenant force landed on Visegrad and disabled the communications relay. In response, several teams of UNSC Army troopers were deployed to investigate the suspected insurrectionist activity, but after contact with them was lost, Noble Team was assigned to the task.[2] In the dawn of the next day, Noble Team traveled to the relay and soon found out the source of the disturbance, engaging the Covenant forces on the spot. They were extracted soon after, and the planetary emergency directive WINTER CONTINGENCY was declared.[3]
