High above the planet's surface, the orbital known as [[Gamma Station|Reach Gamma Station]] bore witness to one of [[Space engagements over Reach|these battles]]. During the Covenant's final push for military supremacy, the enemy ruthlessly targeted this station. The aliens were intent on finding humanity's homeworld and to this end, had discovered that an [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] [[prowler]], the {{UNSCShip|Circumference}}, had failed to delete its [[Navigation computer|navigation database]] - placing the information it carried at risk of capture. The Master Chief, [[John-117]], lead Spartans [[Linda-058]] and [[James-005]] onto the station to safely secure the NAV data and temporarily stave off the Covenant's relentless forces. Though they were successful, both James and Linda were casualties in this mission and Gamma Station would eventually be torn apart by the Covenant, with only debris left in their brutal wake. | High above the planet's surface, the orbital known as [[Gamma Station|Reach Gamma Station]] bore witness to one of [[Space engagements over Reach|these battles]].

Intent on defending Reach's [[orbital defense generator]]s, twenty-two [[Red Team|other Spartans]] would fearlessly leap out of a doomed [[D77 Pelican|Pelican]], hard dropping into the alpine mountains of the [[Viery Territory]] at the heart of the [[Military Wilderness Training Preserve]]. The Spartans to the fight to the Covenant, making their way to the generators which powered the planet's [[Erőd-class orbital weapon platform|orbital MAC guns]] in an effort to support the UNSC fleets overhead. The outlying forests and a nearby training complex would become the battleground for this fight, the Spartans using their familiarity with the territory to deal with the Covenant's encoruaching threat. The handful of soldiers to survive this encounter found their way to the base of [[Menachite Mountain]], home to the top-secret [[CASTLE Base|CASTLE facility]] and a decades-old [[titanium]] mine, just as the Covenant focused their forces in this specific area. | Intent on defending Reach's [[orbital defense generator]]s, twenty-two [[Red Team|other Spartans]] would fearlessly leap out of a doomed [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]], hard dropping into the alpine mountains of the [[Viery Territory]] at the heart of the [[Military Wilderness Training Preserve]].

Elsewhere in the area was [[Unidentified BXR titanium mine|another titanium mine]], and yet another site in the struggle for the planet's survival. Mining the titanium reserves since the early years of Reach's colonisation, [[BXR Mining Corporation|BXR industries]] had set up facilities throughout the enormous ridges and canyons which lined the planet's supercontinent. Although the aliens' interest in this site may never be fully known, the UNSC would defend it to the end, putting some of their best soldiers on the front lines only to find defeat eventually. The Covenant would overrun the mining facility, wiping out what was left of the human resistance both here and elsewhere across Reach. | Elsewhere in the area was [[Unidentified BXR titanium mine|another titanium mine]], and yet another site in the struggle for the planet's survival.
