Long Night of Solace[1] is the sixth campaign level in Halo: Reach.[2][3][4] and is set in the beginning of the battle for the planet.[4]

Summary

The Covenant invasion of Reach is in full force, and Catherine-B320 has come up with a plan to take the fight to the enemy. Noble Team, minus Emile-A239 and Jun-A266, are dropped off to a beach by a UH-144 Falcon, and they must fight their way into a UNSC Sabre launch facility that is under attack by Covenant ground and air forces. Once inside, Noble Six and Jorge-052 enter a Sabre that is immediately launched into the planet orbit along with at least one other Sabre. Once in space, they join the other UNSC forces in defending the station Anchor 9 and assist a UNSC Savannah in attacking a Covenant Corvette.[3]
