From [[2494]] to [[2525]], the UNSC Marine Corps would be responsible for dealing with [[Insurrectionist]] uprisings on UNSC colonies and star systems. From [[2512]], the Marines were involved in one of the largest operations in their history, [[Operation: TREBUCHET]], aimed at quelling rebel uprisings in the [[Eridanus system|Eridanus]] and [[Epsilon Eridani system|Epsilon Eridani]] star systems. | From [[2494]] to [[2525]], the UNSC Marine Corps would be responsible for dealing with [[Insurrectionist]] uprisings on UNSC colonies and star systems.

Upon landing, the Marines' hardware and equipments were rendered useless due to the planet's harsh environment. In the first stage of the battle, during a naval engagement, a Covenant [[DDS-class carrier]] was able to land a large contingent of troops on the northern pole of the planet. The Covenant were able to take [[Côte d'Azur]], a major population center. Fortunately almost all of the civilian population was evacuated beforehand, but the UNSC Marine Corps' [[General (UNSC)|General]] [[Kits]] launched a failed assault to retake the city. | ||
The UNSC Marine Corps maintained a sizable presence on [[Reach]] when the Covenant [[Fall of Reach|stormed the planet]]; they bypassed the defense fleet in orbit, as well as the [[MAC Gun]] platforms, and made a considerable landing of soldiers on the North and South Poles. During the early hours of the battle, the Covenant had overrun [[FLEETCOM HQ]] on Reach, destroying the perimeter and swarming the Marine defenders with [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]], [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraiths]], and battalions of infantry. The situation became severe and critical when the Marines were forced to defend the [[Orbital Defense Generator]]s against a massive Covenant assault, using every available armored vehicle and defensive position from available bunkers. The Battle of Reach became one of the most devastating defeats for the UNSC Marine Corps in the Human-Covenant War. | The UNSC Marine Corps maintained a sizable presence on [[Reach]] when the Covenant [[Fall of Reach|stormed the planet]]; they bypassed the defense fleet in orbit, as well as the [[MAC Gun]] platforms, and made a considerable landing of soldiers on the North and South Poles.
