Gamma Station

Reach Station Gamma was a UNSC Space Station located in orbit around planet Reach. It was essentially a ring, three kilometers in diameter, with docking bays and communications dishes covering the surface of the station. It was run by a Dockmaster AI named Doppler. Gamma station was also mentioned in the Halo: Reach trailer as a transmission of an unconfirmed in-system slipspace rupture.

History
In 2552, during the Battle of Reach, three Spartans, John-117, Linda-058, and James took a Pelican to Reach Station Gamma. An ONI Prowler, the Circumference, docked in the station having failed to delete its NAV database. Covenant intrusion software had detected the unsecured database and three Covenant frigates were sent to secure the data. Those frigates were destroyed by MAC rounds from the planet's orbital guns, as well as firepower from the, but not before they dispatched Elite and Jackal rangers to secure the data. Eventually, John-117 was able to destroy the database but both Linda-058 and James were casualties. Several marines were on-board the station: Sergeant Johnson Privates Jenkins, Bisenti, and O'Brien. They were evacuated along with the Spartans.

After the UNSC retreated from Reach, Covenant ships destroyed the station along with everything else in sight, when they glassed the planet.
