==Biography==
===Fall of Reach===
In 2552, when the [[Covenant]] attacked Reach, Freemont sent a signal to all UNSC ships in the Epsilon Eridani system,{{Ref/Note|Tantalus and Jericho were originally mentioned in the 2001 version of ''Halo: The Fall of Reach''. However, the ''2011 Definitive Edition'' removes the mention of Jericho and Tantalus.}} demanding an immediate recall of all vessels to Reach, due to a [[Fleet of Particular Justice|fleet]] of 314 Covenant vessels entering the system. He was supposedly [[Killed in action|KIA]] when the Covenant destroyed [[Fleet Command Headquarters|FLEETCOM HQ]]. He also ordered the [[Cole Protocol]] to be issued immediately for all vessels and stations in the area before his assumed death.{{Ref/Reuse|for}}
{{Main|Fall of Reach}}
Admiral Freemont was the UNSC commander during the [[Fall of Reach]] on August 30, 2552. At 0519 he issued [[UNSC Alpha Priority Transmission 04592Z-83]] to all vessels in the [[Epsilon Eridani system]] in response to a massive incursion of 314 [[Covenant starship]]s entering the system. The transmission ordered an immediate recall of all vessels to Reach to aid in the planet's defence, alongside the commencement of the [[Cole Protocol]] for all ships and stations in the system.{{Ref/Reuse|FOR32}}
 
In the ensuing [[Space engagements over Reach|space battle]] Admiral Freemont led the [[Epsilon Eridani Fleet]], the largest UNSC fleet outside of [[Sol system|Sol]], consisting of more than 150 [[UNSC starship|UNSC ships]] and 20 {{Class|Erőd|orbital weapon platform}}s. Freemont copied tactics used by [[Vice Admiral]] [[Michael Stanforth]] in the [[battle of Sigma Octanus IV]] the previous month and organised his ship to fire in staggered salvos and used [[refit station]]s as sacrificial shields.{{Ref/Reuse|FOR32}}
 
He was presumably [[killed in action]] during the fighting alongside other senior officers such as Vice Admiral [[Michael Stanforth]] and the staff at [[Fleet Command Headquarters|FLEETCOM HQ]]. By 0500 hours, Vice Admiral [[Danforth Whitcomb]] became the highest-ranking officer of all forces still operating in the [[Reach Defense Coordination Zone]].{{Ref/Novel|HFS|Chapter=3}}


==Production notes==
During the battle of Reach, Admiral Freemont was in command of the [[Epsilon Eridani Fleet]], the largest UNSC fleet outside of [[Sol system|Sol]], consisting of more than 150 ships and 20 orbital [[Orbital defense platform|Mark V MAC stations]]. During the battle, Freemont copied tactics used by [[Vice Admiral]] [[Michael Stanforth]] and organized his ship to fire in staggered salvos and used [[refit station]]s as sacrificial shields.
In the original [[2001]] release of ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', Admiral Freemont's message in Chapter 32 is addressed to all ships in the Reach, [[Tantalus]], and [[Lambda Serpentis system|Jericho systems]]. This [[List of changes in Halo: The Fall of Reach rereleases|was changed]] in the 2011 Tor Books reprint (and all subsequent releases) of the novel to simply read Epsilon Eridani system.
