BXR had several facilities on the [[Inner Colonies|colony world]] of [[Reach]]. During the [[Covenant]] [[Fall of Reach|invasion of Reach]], [[Szurdok Ridge BXR facility|one of the corporation's mining facilities]] on the [[Szurdok Ridge]] at [[Ütközet]] was made into a stronghold by Covenant forces.<ref name="tip">''[[Halo: Reach]]'', campaign level, [[Tip of the Spear]]</ref>
===Human-Covenant War===
Circa [[2552#March|March 9, 2552]], the [[Covenant]] attacked a BXR Mining Corporation facility on a [[Human colonies|human colony]]. A group of miners volunteered to extract a haul of exotic ore that would be used in the creation of the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]]s [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]]. While they successfully retrieved and delivered the ore, the Covenant bombardment caused a cave-in that blocked their escape. Trapped, one of the miners began singing. The other miners joined in before the cave ultimately collapsed on top of them.{{Ref/Generic|Id=Lightbringers|Heading=[[Become]]|Subheading=[[UNSC Archives]]|Detail=[[Lightbringers]]}}
