Talk:Fall of Reach


 * Good work on the picture i didnt think of that --Climax Viod 20:17, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Very professional. -- Spartan 1138 15:45, 16 October 2006)

Wait a second...
Where did we get this number losses from? All I can seem to find is the 12 million dead but there are no real records of Covenant losses. Jin Won 00:26, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

How did they lose.
how did they lose like there were 13 sparterns there including john (the master chief)

man we were out numbered, out gunned and at a technological disadvantage....even with the spartans we were still screwed before the battle even begun. On a side note even if we did win those god damn split chin SOBS would just come back with a bigger fleet :(

also 13 spartans vs like 50 elites = elites win--76.188.238.12 22:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Modifying the timetable
I'm going to modify the time table in... let's give one week for objections. Modifications are as follows:

Battle End: August 30, 2552? to September 23, 2552 (Military Calendar)

Seeing as the bettle for Reach technically ended when all resistance was eliminated or neutralized, John-117 and everyone with him left Reach at this time as the last known survivors. Halo: First Strike Page 200 header.

Outcome: Ended with Covenant victory; Reach was glassed to "Reach was Partially Glassed"

Seeing as only the poles were glassed, this seems appropriate.

Supreme Commander of the Fleet of Particular Justice to The Arbiter -- Supreme Commander of the Fleet of Particular Justice

It seems appropriate.

Bracktanus
bracktanus isn't in the battle of reach he is only mentioned by two grunts that are actually in the battle so i'm taking him out. - SPARTAN-410

Pillar of Autumn as a loss?
Should the PoA be counted a loss for the UNSC since it escaped and was destroyed later?


 * Erm...I think "losses" would go for if it was destroyed in the battle. If a ship escaped and was then destroyed in another battle then i don't think the PoA would count as a loss for Reach.Forerunner 06:24, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

losses
Perhaps it had 302 covenant ships destroyed but 12 millions of dead I dont think, we need infos. Chief frank 001 23:16, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

315 not 314
Keyes saw 314 ships in the main group, so when they jumped in system there were 315 ships.

Perhaps by the time they got there another covenant ship joined with the main group...Forerunner 14:20, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Look up ironic
Just so you know the fact that they already knew is coincidental, maybe also unfortunate, not ironic. 66.7.139.162

Incorret information
Before I start were it says that their are 315 Covenant ships that also includes the covenant carrier that keyes destroy before cortana told him about the 314 covenant ships in the fleet. One information that someone left out is about the 4 marines on the gamma station. They tell you all 4 names of the marines and someone left 1 out and that marine is PVT. Jenkins. The second incorret info is the 20 covenant reinforcement ships that come to help they don't exisit I reread the chapter and I can't find the 20 extra covenant ships that come to help so in other words it didn't happen and that makes the covenant fleet from 335 ships back to 315 ships.The leader of the covenant fleet on reach is the arbiter in halo2 and 3 you will know this if you watch the intro to halo2.

Battle of Reach in Halo Legends
Oh Legends is looking better and better. As I was watching this video for the fourth time, I took note of a few clips that depicted events that extremely similar to those in the battle:
 * At 0:22-0:26 a Spartan is seen observing a battle at night, with UNSC forces defending a row of bunkers and several large satellite dishes.
 * At 0:48-0:54 hundreds of Covenant ships are approaching a planet that looks very similar to Reach.
 * At 1:34-1:41 from the same fleet of ships, a CCS-Class Battlecruiser jumps into Slipspace with the planet, a UNSC cruiser and an Orbital Defense Platform in plain sight.
 * At 2:25-2:31 a CCS comes out of Slipspace behind a Halcyon-Class Cruiser near an asteroid field.
