The level ''Nightfall'' establishes that the time/date caption used throughout ''Halo: Reach'' is based on the Reach calendar. Assuming that July on the Reach calendar has only 31 days, the Fall of Reach's lasted 37 days on Reach's calendar and 41 on Earth's. Further, it can be assumed that - given the date of the UNSC Security Committee's meeting after the Fall of Reach occurred in early September (Earth calendar) mere ''days'' after the Fall - August 30 on the Reach calendar was equal or approximate to August 30 on the Earth calendar.</ref> <br/>
