*By 2552, human forces are reduced to handful of planets near Earth, with Reach as their last stonghold. Covenant forces follow a UNSC destroyer with a sophisticated tracking device to Reach, and deploy a three-hundred ship fleet against the planet. Despite the heroic efforts of the human defenders and their massive orbital MAC stations, they are unable to prevent Covenant forces from landing on the planet, disabling planetary power generators, and leaving Reach helpless. The majority of the planet is glassed, and the fleet defending it is nearly totally wiped out.

*Shortly after this battle, the Master Chief, on board the [[UNSC]] [[Halycon-class cruiser]] [[The Pillar of Autumn]], participated in the events of [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]. In the aftermath, he and [[Cortana]], along with a small squad of human survivors and [[SPARTAN]]s captured a [[Covenant]] flagship and pillaged the technologies within. In the process, they discover a massive fleet of Covenant ships heading toward the [[Sol system]], and proceed to sabotage and destroy the fleet in a daring and costly assault.

*On October 20, 2552, UNSC defense forces over Earth engaged the Prophet of Regret's fleet and destroyed most of it, in the process discovering that the Covenant had not actually located Earth, and instead had apparently stumbled across it unexpectedly. During the ground battle in New Mombasa, Regret makes an in-atmosphere slipspace jump, which is followed by the Master Chief and the frigate UNSC In Amber Clad to a second Halo. After the events on Delta Halo, the Master Chief returns to Earth on board a Forerunner ship to find it under attack by massive, overwhelming Covenant forces.
