The 2010 reissue of ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' took this statement literally and changed the number of ships at Reach from around 300 to "over 750"; however, this change was made in only one instance, with all other statements regarding the fleet's size remaining consistent with prior versions of the novel. While the 2011 ''Definitive Edition'' removed this change, it is repeated in the comic book adaption, ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Invasion]]''.</ref> | *Around 315 ships {{C|August 30}}<ref name="FOR33"/><ref group="note">In Chapter 33, it is stated that 314 Covenant ships are in the system.
