On October 7th, [[2525]], [[Fleet Command]] assembled [[Battlegroup | On October 7th, [[2525]], [[Fleet Command]] assembled [[Battlegroup 4]] to investigate, due to the fact that the Harvest situation was deemed to have become serious. The battle group consisted of the destroyer ''[[UNSC Heracles|Heracles]]'', commanded by Captain [[Veredi]], as well as the frigates ''[[UNSC Arabia|Arabia]]'' and ''[[UNSC Vostok|Vostok]]''. They entered the Harvest system only to find the planet's surface almost entirely melted down to [[Glassing|glass]]. While there, the battle group encountered the ''Rapid Conversion''. This vessel immediately fired on the inferior human vessels, and the ''Vostok'' and ''Arabia'' were lost with all hands. The ''Heracles'' managed to jump out of the system, but took several weeks to return to Reach due to damage sustained in the battle. Upon hearing Veredi's report and realizing the scale of the threat, the UNSC was placed on full alert and a fleet was assembled to meet the threat. <ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''</ref> | ||
