The remaining UNSC ships regrouped with the reinforcements to defend the orbital platforms, but the Covenant began sending hundreds of dropships to the surface of Reach, accompanied by several cruisers to destroy the [[orbital defense generator]]s. They also used an [[Unidentified Covenant warship|unidentified vessel]] to snipe the ships of the fleet which were unable to destroy it. It was able to also avoid rounds from the Super MACS. Finally, the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]'' destroyed the supercruiser in an intense battle, but the ''Autumn'' was severely damaged and too much of the fleet was destroyed as well as the generators on the ground being destroyed for it to make much of a difference. Despite strong defense from UNSC ground forces, the Covenant managed to push through and destroy the generators, letting the remnants of the Covenant fleet move in and [[Glassing|glass]] Reach, destroying the UNSC stragglers.<ref name="FoR"/> | The remaining UNSC ships regrouped with the reinforcements to defend the orbital platforms, but the Covenant began sending hundreds of dropships to the surface of Reach, accompanied by several cruisers to destroy the [[orbital defense generator]]s.

Only a handful of ships escaped Reach, most of which were badly damaged. The known survivors were the severely damaged ''Pillar of Autumn'' which was later destroyed in the [[Battle of Installation 04]], an ONI [[prowler]] which witnessed the battle and its aftermath and fled and the {{UNSCShip|Gettysburg}} which was later salvaged to help the survivors of this battle and the Battle of Installation 04 return home | Only a handful of ships escaped Reach, most of which were badly damaged.

After the Covenant glassed Reach, they advanced on the other in-system colonies, including [[Tribute]]. The initial [[Battle of Tribute|space engagement]] over Tribute was a short one, with only a fraction of the original fleet there to defend it. The fleet suffered ninety percent losses and Tribute was partially glassed.<ref>'''Bungie.net''': [[Taylor H.
