Having anticipated the attack, the UNSC engaged United Rebel Front forces as part of [[Operation: TREBUCHET]]. A UNSC [[fleet]] of [[carrier]]s, [[cruiser]]s, and [[destroyer]]s attacked Watts' own fleet of roughly one hundred smaller spaceships, while ground engagements waged across Eridanus II's surface.<ref name="for96">''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', p. 96-98 (2010)</ref> Ultimately, the United Rebel Front's forces were routed and defeated by the UNSC before they could properly establish a presence on Eridanus II.{{Ref/Reuse|universe watts}} Watts called for the exodus of URF forces from the planet and the faction eventually fled Eridanus II through [[slipstream space]].<ref name="bc1">''[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp]]'', Issue #1</ref> | ||

Operation: TALON was first depicted in ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', and later in the novel's [[Halo: Fall of Reach|comic]] and [[Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series|animated adaptations]]. Partially due to artistic liberties, the adaptations of the operation [[List of changes in Halo: The Fall of Reach rereleases|differ]] from its portrayal in the novel. The comic's depiction of the event is similar to that of the novel with minor differences. In the comic, Watts retreats to a heavily armored safe room before his capture, after Blue Team breaches his apartment. The crate he is placed in is later thrown from his apartment's balcony, rather than carried by the Spartans as they rappel down the building.<ref name="bootcamp 4">''Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp'', Issue #4</ref> | Operation: TALON was first depicted in ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', and later in the novel's [[Halo: Fall of Reach|comic]] and [[Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series|animated adaptations]].

In the animated series, Blue Team uses [[M7S SMG]]s rather than [[MA2B assault rifle]]s and [[Linda-058]]'s [[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle]], while the URF use the [[M7 SMG]] instead of the [[HMG-38]]. After Watts' guards are defeated, the colonel attempts to commit suicide with his sidearm, but Linda disarms him by shooting the pistol out of his hand. Watts proceeds to threaten the Spartans before being knocked unconscious by Sam and thrown into the crate.{{Ref/Reuse|for as act2}} In both depictions, John is shot by a rebel when pushing Sam out of the line of fire, rather than John being shot due to him being in an unfortunate position.{{Ref/Reuse|for as act2}}{{Ref/Reuse|bootcamp 4}} | In the animated series, Blue Team uses [[M7S SMG]]s rather than [[MA2B assault rifle]]s and [[Linda-058]]'s [[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle]], while the URF use the [[M7 SMG]] instead of the [[HMG-38 heavy machine gun]].
