On August 30, Gamma Station received a transmission from [[remote scanning outpost]] [[Fermion]] reporting an unconfirmed in-system [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] rupture; this belied the arrival of the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]]. Shortly thereafter, three [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]] ([[John-117]], [[Linda-058]], and [[James-005]]) commandeered a [[D77-TC Pelican]]{{Ref/Comic|Comic=Halo: Fall of Reach|Detail=[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Invasion|Invasion]]}} to Reach Station Gamma. An ONI [[UNSC prowler|prowler]], the ''[[UNSC Circumference|Circumference]]'', docked in the station failed to delete its navigation database.
