"I've got six hundred souls on board, Sergeant Major! I can't wait any longer!"
— 6 Echo 2's pilot, shortly before taking off

6 Echo 2 was a civilian transport craft. It, along with other transports, was used to evacuate both soldiers and civilians from New Alexandria during the Fall of Reach.[1]

During the evacuation, it was ordered not to take off due to heavy enemy fire. However, the pilot disregarded instructions and took off anyway, which resulted in the destruction of the ship and the death of everyone onboard.

Trivia

  • 6 Echo 2 explodes two animation frames before it is struck by the plasma torpedo. The speakers in the Halo: Reach Legendary Edition commentary address this error; Lee Wilson jokes, "They should've locked their armor".[2]
  • 6 Echo 2's fate is similar to that of Cargo 3 from Halo Wars, as the pilots of both craft attempted to take off early despite nearby enemy forces and were shot down by Covenant forces shortly thereafter.
