Rally Point Zulu
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Rally Point Zulu was a point in the space surrounding the planet Reach that was designated as a staging area for all UNSC warships in the Epsilon Eridani system on the final day of the Fall of Reach: August 30, 2552.[note 1] At this rally point, all recalled ships would attempt to repulse the newly-arrived Covenant Fleet of Particular Justice, which had come to crush all remaining resistance and glass the planet after a month and a half of conflict. The appropriate UNSC vessels were alerted by UNSC Alpha Priority Transmission 04592Z-83, sent by Admiral Roland Freemont, the leader of the FLEETCOM Sector One and of the Epsilon Eridani Fleet.[1][2]
At first, 100 UNSC warships united at Rally Point Zulu, with 52 more arriving minutes later and the UNSC Pillar of Autumn arriving shortly after that.[3] The assembled vessels ultimately failed to defend Reach from the Covenant attack. Within minutes, all but a fraction of the ships at Rally Point Zulu were destroyed. The Covenant then pressed through the shattered defensive line, destroyed the now-inert orbital defense platforms, and began glassing the planet.[4]
