'''Reynes''' was a former mining colony and later a [[United Nations Space Command]] listening outpost<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 152''</ref> in the [[Kezu system]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==Overview==
===Topography and ecology===
Reynes had saltwater seas. Colossal sea creatures were also found the planet. The ones that were beached, left rotting corpses.{{Ref/Reuse|fireside}}

===Known residents===
*[[Morgan Kinsano]]

==History==
===Rise of humanity===
Reynes was settled in [[2469]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} At some point during the [[Insurrection]] miners on the planet striked and protested against the [[Unified Earth Government]].{{Ref/Reuse|fireside}}

===Human-Covenant War===
At some point prior to the victory at the [[Harvest campaign]], the planet was glassed by the [[Covenant]]. Many of the miners became refugees elsewhere.{{Ref/Novel|Id=fireside|Halo: Fireside}}
===Postwar===
In [[2553#January|January 2553]], it was used as a temporary listening station, operated by [[Mike Spenser]], until he was exfiltrated. He stayed underground in the mines of the colony, which had remained largely intact after the glassing. A group of [[Kig-Yar]] would occasionally scavenge the colony for [[Wikipedia:tantalum|tantalum]], and at least one of them was capable of communicating with Spenser. These Kig-Yar served as informants for Spenser. A lone [[Unggoy]] would also arrive to clean Spenser's base in the mines. 

While [[Malcolm Geffen]] and [[Vasily Beloi]] were evacuating Spenser, a group of Kig-Yar [[Piracy|pirate]]s moved in on their [[Pelican]], wanting to take it for themselves. After several disagreements, the situation escalated into a firefight in which all Kig-Yar were killed, and Mal received a dent in his helmet from a {{Pattern|Gadulo|needle rifle}} round.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 158''</ref>

In [[2553#April|April 2553]], another group of Kig-Yar, including [[Chol Von]]'s mate, [[Vek]], travelled to Reynes to look for tantalum deposits.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 68''</ref>

==Society==
===Economy===
Before and during the [[Human-Covenant War]], Reynes was used by the UNSC to mine aluminum, tantalum and copper.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 153''</ref> Before the Covenant glassed the colony, there were about 50,000 miners working on the planet.

==Production notes==
There are a number of discrepancies surrounding when Reynes was attacked by the Covenant. In the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'', the planet is established as having been glassed in [[2548]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}. However, the [[Halo Waypoint Chronicle]] ''[[Halo: Fireside]]'' establishes that the attack on Reynes by the Covenant was the inciting incident for Morgan Kinsano to have joined the UNSC, some time prior to {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}'s disappearance in [[2531]]. This would suggest that the planet was in fact attacked in the early stages of the war.

However, the initial [[Halo Waypoint]] blog that introduced Kinsano stated that "''Though Kinsano’s world was spared in the initial Covenant invasion, the aliens took almost everything else from her: family, friends, and even old enemies.''"{{Ref/Site|Id=Waypoint|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/welcome-kinsano|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Welcome Kinsano|D=02|M=04|Y=2017}} - seemingly aligning with the date presented in the Encyclopedia. As such, it may be the case that Reynes suffered a similar fate to worlds such as [[Arcadia]], and was attacked numerous times throughout the war before finally being decisively glassed in 2548.

==Trivia==
[[wikipedia:Reynes|Reynes]] is a town in southern France.
