'''''Anchor 9''''' was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[space station]] in service with the [[UNSC Navy]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. It had multiple hangar bays, with several [[YSS-1000|YSS-1000 Sabre]] fighters stored inside. In addition, it had docking umbilici for larger vessels such as [[UNSC Frigate|frigates]]. The station also was surrounded by frigate build-and-repair facilities, which had several half-built ships in them.<ref name="video">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJqw6QvSzXQ '''YouTube''': ''E3 2010 Extended Reach Campaign Mission HD'']</ref> | |||

The station's defenses were off-line when the Covenant attacked, and a group of Sabres was deployed to repel the incoming waves of [[Type-27 XMF|Banshees]] and later [[Type-31 XMF|Seraphs]]. When the third wave of Covenant fighters arrived, ''Anchor 9'''s point defense guns came back online.<ref name="video"/> During the third wave, several [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]] arrived and attempted to attack the station, but were destroyed. After the Phantoms were destroyed, the remaining Seraphs and Banshees retreated. [[SPARTAN-B312]] and [[Jorge-052]] then docked in one of the station's hangars. Jorge left the Sabre to arm a Slipspace drive attached to a Pelican dropship; this Slipspace drive would be used as an improvised bomb against ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'', a [[Covenant supercarrier]]. The {{UNSCship|Savannah}} soon detached from ''Anchor 9'' to provide cover for the Sabres as they attacked and attempted to board an [[Ardent Prayer|enemy corvette]] which was inbound to refuel with the supercarrier. Almost immediately after the supercarrier was destroyed, the Covenant ''[[Fleet of Particular Justice]]'' arrived near ''Anchor 9''.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]</ref> | ||
