Anchor 9 was a refit station in service with the UNSC Navy, and one of 18 such stations orbiting the colony world Reach during the Human-Covenant War.[1] It had multiple hangar and repair bays, and several YSS-1000 Sabre fighters could be stored and serviced inside. In addition, it had docking umbilici for larger vessels such as frigates. The station also was surrounded by frigate build-and-repair facilities, which had several half-built ships in them.[2]
History
The station was in orbit around Reach during the Fall of Reach in August 2552, and was defended by Sabres during Operation: UPPERCUT. The station's defenses were off-line when the Covenant attacked, and a group of Sabres was deployed to repel the incoming waves of Banshees and later Seraphs. When the third wave of Covenant fighters arrived, Anchor 9's point defense guns came back online.[2] During the third wave, several Phantoms arrived and attempted to attack the station, but were destroyed. After the Phantoms were destroyed, the remaining Seraphs and Banshees retreated. SPARTAN-B312 and Jorge-052 then docked in one of the station's hangars. Jorge left the Sabre to arm a Slipspace drive attached to a Pelican dropship; this Slipspace drive would be used as an improvised bomb against Long Night of Solace, a Covenant supercarrier. The Template:UNSCship soon detached from Anchor 9 to provide cover for the Sabres as they attacked and attempted to board an enemy corvette which was inbound to refuel with the supercarrier. Almost immediately after the supercarrier was destroyed, the Covenant Fleet of Particular Justice arrived near Anchor 9.[3] It was most likely destroyed or severely damaged in the Fall of Reach.
Trivia
- The Template:UNSCship, a mobile hospital platform and research facility, is made up of two scrapped space stations resembling Anchor 9, connected together in an off-center "sandwich".
- Anchor 9 is also the setting of a multiplayer map of the same name.
