Anchor 9: Difference between revisions

The station was in orbit around [[Reach]] during the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552#August|August 2552]], and was defended by Sabres during [[Operation: UPPER CUT|Operation: UPPERCUT]]. 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 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter|Banshees]] and later [[Type-31 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter|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 over Reach.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]</ref> The station was subsequently destroyed by a Covenant support fleet, which arrived several days later.

*''Anchor 9'' is also the setting of a multiplayer [[Anchor 9 (level)|map]] of the same name. Despite the name of the map being Anchor 9, the actual space station does not look like the Anchor 9 from campaign. The colors of the station are more white and yellow, and the geometry of the station is quite different. The multiplayer version looks more like the [[UNSC Hopeful]].
