Reynes was a former mining colony and later a UNSC listening outpost.[1]
Before and during the Human-Covenant War, Reynes was used by the UNSC to mine Aluminum, Tantalum and Copper.[2] Before the Covenant glassed the colony, there were about 50,000 miners working on the planet. In January 2553, it was used as a temporary listening station, operated by Mike Spenser, until he was exfilled. He stayed underground in the mines of the colony, which had remained largely intact after the glassing. A group of Kig-Yar would occasionally scavenge the colony for tantalum, and one of them was capable of communicating with Spenser. While Malcolm Geffen and Vasily Beloi were evacuating Spenser, the Kig-Yar moved in on the ship, wanting to take it for themselves. After several disagreements, the situation escalated into a firefight in which all Kig-Yar were killed, and Mal received a dent in his helmet from a Type-31 Rifle round.[3]
