'''Reach''' is a [[human]] colony world in the [[Epsilon Eridani system]], located within the [[Inner Colonies]]. At 10.5 light years from the [[Sol system]], it is located at [[Earth]]'s metaphorical doorstep.

Once home to a [[Forerunner]] presence, Reach held considerable importance to the [[United Nations Space Command]] as the nexus of its military and the site of many military-industrial facilities such as shipyards. It was also significant for being one of the largest producers of [[titanium]], which is plentiful on the planet.

Despite its position as the UNSC's largest naval base, strategic headquarters, and second-largest population center,<ref name="ch32"/> the Epsilon Eridani system was wracked by [[Insurrectionist]] activity throughout the early 26th century.

Reach fell to the Covenant during the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2552]]. An [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence|advance strike force]] first arrived at the planet in late [[2552#July|July]], taking out a major [[Visegrád Relay|communications outpost]] and attacking several UNSC facilities over a span of several weeks. A significantly larger Covenant fleet arrived on [[2552#August|August 14]] and began to lay siege on several cities on the planet. The final battle for the planet was fought when a massive Covenant invasion fleet over 300 ships strong arrived in the morning of August 30.<ref name="vis"/> | Reach fell to the Covenant during the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2552]].

The final attack halted [[Operation: RED FLAG]], a plan devised by the UNSC to bring an end to the war, as the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, which was already on its way to the mission, was recalled to Reach to defend the planet against the massive Covenant attack. The majority of the SPARTAN-IIs aboard the ship were dispatched to the planet's surface to protect the [[Orbital defense generator|generators]] for the [[orbital defense platform]]s while a small team led by [[John-117]] boarded [[Reach Station Gamma]] to secure an unprotected NAV database aboard the [[ONI]] [[UNSC prowler|prowler]] ''[[UNSC Circumference|Circumference]]''.

===Ecology=== | |||
Reach was home to numerous species of indigenous animals and vegetation, with some being imported by [[human]]s. The [[spadehorn]] is a herbivorous animal native it Reach's grasslands.<ref>'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 181''</ref> [[Moa]] are large, flightless birds, with reptilian features, that are often domesticated and consumed by humans.<ref name="Update">[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_073010 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 07.30.2010'']</ref><ref name="exo">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[Exodus]]''</ref> The [[gúta]] is the largest terrestrial lifeform discovered on Reach and is very dangerous, albeit rarely aggressive.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=enemies&cid=28449 B.net classification]</ref> A species of eagle, baring some resemblance to the [[Wikipedia:Golden eagle|golden eagle]] from [[Earth]], were also found on the planet. Wolves and owls, from Earth, inhabited the forests of Reach.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 63''</ref><ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 65''</ref> Koi were often found in decorative ponds and water gardens.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', multiplayer map, ''[[Reflection]]''</ref> Rats were also common pests on the planet.<ref name="exo"/> | |||
The planet was home to hundreds of species of vegetation, including [[cedar]] trees from Earth.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 48''</ref> It is unknown if any of the species on Reach survived after the planet was glassed by the [[Covenant]], though it is likely that most were imported to other human worlds. | |||
==Government and society== | |||
Reach was the most important headquarters for the [[United Nations Space Command]] outside of Earth and the main supplier of military and civilian spacecraft, and the location of the UNSC's largest and most active shipyard. [[UNSC High Command|High Command]], [[FLEETCOM|Fleet Command]] and the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] maintained headquarters on Reach, as well as many primary [[Office of Naval Intelligence|Naval Intelligence]] bases, which included the highly classified [[CASTLE Base]]. It was also where the UNSC's most elite troops, including the [[ODST]]s as well as the SPARTAN-IIs, were trained. Reach's purpose was not solely military however; the surface of the planet also featured farmland and civilian towns and districts.<ref>'''''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''''', ''page 52''</ref> The largest cities on Reach were [[Manassas]], [[Quezon]], [[Ezhtergom]] and [[New Alexandria]].<ref name="vis"/> Reach had nine [[space elevator]]s,<ref name="vis"/> three of which were located near the city of [[New Alexandria]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[New Alexandria (level)|New Alexandria]]''</ref> | |||
Reach was the largest non-automated exporter of [[titanium]] within the human colonies.<ref name="bnet"/> Deposits of the element could be found in abundance on the planet, sometimes breaking the surface in the form of large spires.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', firefight map, ''[[Unearthed]]''</ref> Before the Covenant invasion, Epsilon Eridani's superior [[interstellar jump point]] had been the most active [[Slipstream space]] transfer zone (arrivals and departures) for over thirty years, with the system's inferior IJP and Sol's superior IJP regularly trading second and third place spots.<ref name="bnet"/> | |||
Many of Reach's original settlers hailed from [[Europe|Eastern Europe]], particularly [[Wikipedia:Hungary|Hungary]], which is reflected in some of the place names on the planet. Many of the planet's inhabitants also spoke [[Hungarian]] as their first language.<ref name="wc">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[Winter Contingency (level)|Winter Contingency]]''</ref> Despite Reach's harsh nature, some settlers chose to live in small communities of homesteads, referred to as "[[kiva]]s",<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''[[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition|Legendary Edition]] Developer Commentary''</ref> in the wilderness instead of the major cities. Rounded and enclosed, they were comfortable but practical, shuttered against Reach's forceful climate and bunkered into hillsides. It also related their independent nature; powered by [[wind turbine]]s and hydroelectric plants, they were off the grid and self-sustaining.<ref name="EDGE">'''[http://www.edge-online.com/ EDGE Magazine, February 2010]'''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Reach''', multiplayer map, ''[[Powerhouse]]''</ref> | |||
===Defenses=== | |||
[[File:Reach E310 Campaign10.jpg|thumb|250px|A battle raging around ''Anchor 9'' and Reach's orbital shipyards.]] | |||
While Earth was rightly seen as the UNSC's commercial, political, and cultural center; Reach was undeniably the hub of its military power. The [[Epsilon Eridani Fleet]] was a full strength [[battle group|carrier group]] with the [[UNSC supercarrier|supercarrier]] {{UNSCShip|Trafalgar}} at its core.<ref name="bnet"/> | |||
A semi-mobile array of twenty orbital defense platforms, equipped with heavy [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC guns]] also known as "big sticks," orbit around Reach, some of which were in place as early as [[2527]]. The "big sticks" were defended by multiple wings of single ships and tactical multi-role craft. In addition, there were also about 100 to 150 warships stationed in the Epsilon Eridani system at any time. Reach also had a network of 18 [[refit station]]s orbiting it.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=29866 '''Bungie.net''': ''Noble Map Pack Quick Looks'']</ref> The ODPs were destroyed during the invasion of Reach, or were disabled by ground troops by destroying their power source. Despite their huge numbers, the [[fleet]] of warships was destroyed by a massive combined Covenant fleet. | |||
