The settlements in the region were known as [[kiva]]s. Some of the settlers had lived in Visegrad 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]].<ref>'''Remember Reach''', ''[[New Life]]''</ref>

In [[2550]], a meteorite impact crater with metallurgical and astrophysical scientific value was discovered near Visegrad. Despite the nature of the discovery, [[Office of Naval Intelligence#Section II|ONI Section II]] did not call for relocation of the civilian population but instead "leaked" the information on the site, something [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] found surprising. Professor [[Laszlo Sorvad]] was assigned for the [[Xenoarchaeology|archaeological]] survey of the impact area, residing in the relay station with his family. During this time, the ONI kept an eye on the civilian population, but did not call for forced relocation.<ref>'''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]'''</ref>


On [[2552#July|July 23, 2552]], a small [[Covenant Empire|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.<ref name="actual"/> 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.<ref name="winter"/>
