— Spartan Games newsletter

Halo: Fleet Battles is a tabletop game developed by Spartan Games. The first set for Halo: Fleet Battles, called The Fall of Reach box, was released on July 20, 2015.

Background

In February 2015, Spartan Games announced that the company had established a License Agreement with Microsoft Studios to design and produce tabletop miniatures games for the Halo series. Spartan Games worked together with 343 Industries to produce ship designs that had never visually appeared in previous canon, such as the ORS-class heavy cruiser and the Epoch-class heavy carrier. Although the company was given considerable freedom in designing the models, 343i's Franchise team ensured that each vessel properly fit their faction, role, and established canonical details.
