Data Drop

Data Drop is a collection of six classified documents, all of which were recovered from CASTLE Base by Section III of the Office of Naval Intelligence, posted on Halo Waypoint. The first Data Drop is centered around the planet Onyx, while the rest explain how the events of Halo: The Fall of Reach tie in with those seen in Halo: Reach. Data Drops are no longer available on Halo Waypoint.

Trivia

 * When the PDF for Data Drop Two is opened in a web browser, the loading screen shows that the file contains 1117 kilobytes, a reference to John-117's service tag, and to the number seven.
 * In the first part of Data Drop 5, set on August 27, Vice Admiral Stanforth states that Captain Keyes is not yet aware that Reach has been under attack for weeks. In the Halo: The Fall of Reach ' s Adjunct, Keyes states outright that he is aware of the invasion and knows that he must not mention it for the sake of his crew's morale. The date of Keyes' message is not stamped, so it was likely sent after Stanforth's.
