Reynes

Reynes was a former mining colony and later a UNSC listening outpost.

Before and during the Human-Covenant War Reynes was used by the UNSC to mine Aluminum, Tantalum and Copper. Before the Covnenant had glassed the colony there was about 50,000 miners working the mines. In January 2553, it was used as a temporary listening station, operated by Mike Spenser, until he was exfilled. He stayed underground in the mines of the colony, which remained largely intact. A group of Kig-Yar would occasionally scavenge the colony for tantalum, one of their leaders could speak English. While Malcolm Geffen and Vasily Beloi were evacuating Spenser the group moved in on the ship, they wanted it for themselves. After several refusals, the situation escalated into a firefight with all the Kig-Yar getting killed and Mal getting a dent in his helmet from a Type-31 Rifle round.
